student for the number of days in ASC.  The student will receive daily 
participation credit (20 points) if the assigned work is completed. A student 
will receive a "0" per day that 
the work is not completed.

Locker Room Information: There are lockers provided in the locker room to 
secure any valuables, PE uniforms and shoes.  Each locker has a lock but it is
recommend that you bring a combination lock for extra safety. We also
encourage Boys not to wear expensive jewelry or bring expensive items to the
locker room. No visible cell phones allowed.
The locker room door is locked each period of the day for security/safety 
reasons.
Students are not allowed to come into the locker room without permission 
(during class) so that the locker room traffic is monitored more efficiently.
A lost and found locker is provided for those items that are left in the
locker room. 
The teacher does not assume responsibility for lost and missing items. This 
includes the required PE uniform. I will not pick up after the students.  If
the PE uniform is left out it will go out with the trash and they will be
required to purchase a new 
set at $25.00 a set.
