ATTENDANCE
Students are required to attend class for 3 continuous hours each day, either in the morning session or the afternoon session. Students are responsible for contacting the teacher regarding absences. All notes verifying the reason for an absence will be turned in to the HS Office. Determination of excused vs unexcused absences will be determined by the HS Principal. Excessive absences will result in suspension and/or removal from this program. Your attendance and your success in this class are directly related.
GRADING
Grades will be based on your percentage earned during the conduct of each class. Points earned divided by points possible will determine your percentage which in turn will determine your letter grade. A score of 60% is required to pass a course. The Clarke HS grading scale will apply.
