Assignments Make-Up Work Bathroom & Locker Passes BATHROOM REQUESTS Assignments are to be completed on the day they are due. Full credit for late work is only accepted when there is an excused absence. You are allowed 8 bathroom passes per semester. I will keep track of these as the semester progresses, if you do not use them they will rollover to the next semester they cannot be used as extra credit. Make-Up Work Only excused absences will be allowed to make up an assignment, you have the same number of days you were absent to make up any missed work, test, or quiz. BATHROOM REQUESTS NEW SCHOOL POLICY: You will be allowed to use the bathroom after the first 10 minutes of class and before the last 10 minutes of class only.

Tardies Attendance After an absence, you are required to bring a written & signed excuse from your parent/ guardian to the Attendance Office.

You will have 2 days (48 hours) to bring in an excuse for your absence to the Attendance Office in order to remove the detention from your record.
