TARDY 

• If a student is tardy 3 times to my class, they will be assigned lunch detention. Thereafter, they will be assigned lunch detention every time they are tardy to my class.

FAILING ASSIGNMENTS

If you fail a homework or daily assignment that was turned in on time, you may redo that assignment as many times to reach a 100. Once we have the unit test, you may not redo any assignments from that unit. If the assignment was turned in late, the highest grade you can make is a 70 and it cannot be improved.

If you fail a test (not a nine weeks test or a project), then you must attend tutorials with me to help you with your corrections before the day of the re-test. A re-test will be given on an announced day. If the student does not come in for tutorials and/or make the necessary corrections, they will not be allowed to retake the test. Re-tests are given before/after school. If the student cannot make it due to school activities, they need to let me know and I will schedule a time for the re-test.
