GRADING
Examples of some actions that would jeopardize your success on professionalism grade:
In the case of an absence, it is the students sole responsibility to check the class calendar/website
regarding missed assignments. If there are any questions it is the students responsibility to contact the teacher.
The contact must be made within one school day upon returning. A reasonable time frame for the work to be
made up will be established. Failure to turn in the work at the assigned time will be treated as a missing
assignment. The actual grade earned on make-up work will be awarded if the absence was excused and the work
is submitted within the time period set. In the case of an unexcused absence, a ten-point reduction per day will
be taken.
Policy for Retaking Tests (Formative Assessments)
If a student receives a grade on a written or skills test (excluding the final exam) that they deem to be
less than their desired grade, then the student may retake each test for possibility of full credit during teachers
conference hours (Monday Friday 7:45AM 8:15 AM). Appointment must be made with teacher to retake
test.
Discipline Policy
Consequences for students may include performing activities or skills again until students best performance is
achieved; WHMS 4 STEP discipline policy will be implemented for lack of respect to self, teacher, or other
students.
Safety
This course will involve frequent hands-on activities. You will work closely with materials, equipment, and
each other. Appropriate safety procedures and techniques will be discussed prior to each activity. Deviation
from these procedures and misuse of equipment at any time will result in automatic exclusion from that clinical
session, and a ZERO (0) will be given for that activity. Repeated violations will be managed on an individual
basis.
