   when the bell rings.

Classroom Policies: School policies are available in student handbook. Please read the handbook.

Make Up Work: Students are responsible for discussing with their teacher any assignments missed due to their absence upon their return to class.

Make up work will be completed outside of class time or at the teacher’s discretion.

The number of days allowed for make-up work to be completed will be equal to the number of days a class was missed.

If extra time is needed, the student should discuss the matter with Mrs. Hefner.

Make up work often requires the student to attend tutorials to receive detailed instructions or assistance.

Tutorials are every Tuesday and Thursday, please have you student inform me of their intentions to come to tutorials. 

Grading: There will be at least 2 minor grades per week (this will fluctuate with the lessons), and 3 major grades in each 9-week grading period with exceptions at teacher discretion.
