8. Class Participation Points- If you have an EXCUSED absence or tardy you will be given an alternative assignment to make up for those missing points- It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to ask Ms. Schrage for an alternative assignment (see Absent Work Policy #11).  You will also lose points for being off task or sleeping!

 

9. Class Preparation Points- Every day you will earn FIVE points for: being in class (no loss of points for excused absences), being on time (no loss of points for Excused Tardies or Excused Late Arrivals), having your book, and wearing your ID Badge.  You MAY lose more than FIVE points a day if needed due to lack of responsibility.  Being off task or sleeping will cause a loss of points too!!!

16. Absences for Field Trips, College Visits, Band/Choir Lessons, ISS, OSS, etc- You are considered absent; however, since it was a planned absence, then the absent work policy (#11) does NOT apply, your work is ALL due when you return, NO EXCUSES and the Late Work Policy (#10) applies!  Get your work BEFORE you go!
