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 use 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.
