2. Attendance is NO small matter: Absences must be excused in order for work to be “made-up”. Skipping will not be tolerated. Excessive absences may result in a failing grade for the class. Ten or more unexcused absences over the course of the school year will result in a passing grade being withheld, subject to the appeals process.

3. Assignments  Students who do not turn in homework and complete ALL assignments, consistently, will most likely not pass the course.

4. Behavioral Expectations and Grades: Please be sure to go over the syllabus with your child.
