ATTENDANCE
Good attendance is essential to being successful in this course. It is strongly recommended that students miss no more
than five days per semester; this is consistent with the elementary and middle school attendance policies as well.
Tardiness will not be tolerated and the school policy for tardies will be followed closely.
MAKE-UP WORK
Make-up work is the responsibility of the student. All notes missed should be obtained from another student. Students
will have a two week period upon the return to school to complete the work missed which is the policy of EJCHS. If a
student is absent when a test or quiz is given, the student needs to make arrangements with the teacher for a make-up time
before or after school or used study hall at the end of 3 rd period each day. After the two week period, the grade will
become a zero if it is not made up. All make-up work must be completed within the grading period that it was due;
students will not be allowed to complete work that was due in January at the end of the semester in May.

Class Rules:
1. Be on time.
2. Be prepared.
3. Follow all directions.
4. Respect everyone.
5. Follow all rules stated by EJCHS and the Board of Education.
Consequences:
1. Verbal warning/Student conference
2. Detention/Writing
3. Parent contact
4. Referral to advisor
5. Administrative referral
***Any severe disruption will result in an immediate administrative referral.
***Cell phones or iPods should not be out during instruction or a testing time.
Students may use such devices from time to time with teacher permission.
**Students and parents may check their grade at any time using the Infinite Campus service.
Students may obtain their codes in the counseling office for this service.
**Extra credit may be given on tests and quizzes from time to time.
No individual extra credit will be given.
**In case of inclement weather, students will be provided with an assignment that will replace the activities that
were missed.
Extra Help: Extra help is available before or after school during regularly scheduled times that will be
determined no later than the second week of school.
Cheating / Plagiarism: Any student who is caught cheating in class will receive a 0 for that assignment and will not be
able to redeem the grade.
Note to Parents: I am looking forward to teaching your child this semester. Expect him/her to have a small homework
assignment almost every night. Please encourage him/her to keep up with his/her work.
Thank you for your support and cooperation.
