Late Work Policy 

All students are expected to complete all assignments in every class.  If for some reason a student must turn in an assignment late meaning  after the make-up date which is on Friday, then 10 points will be taken off.  If a student misses between three and five assignments in any one class, then parents will be contacted to assist with the situation..  In order to assist with this process, make up work should not be given to students who have ISS.  ISS is for that day’s work ONLY.

BATHROOM POLICY:

There is a protected time of 10 minutes after and before the bell.  Students are allowed to use the restroom during transition between classes.  A handwritten CMS pass must be used to visit any other location.
