Below you will find our school and classroom policies and procedures. Contact me if you have any 
questions.


* Attendance**
 	State law requires that a student be in attendance at least 90% of the time that a class is offered.  
If a student does not meet the attendance requirement, credit will be denied.  Every 3 tardies that a 
student accrues to a class will be recorded as an absence when determining final exemptions and 
denial of credit.  Students who are more than 10 minutes late to any one class will be considered 
absent.
