Attendance Policy

Students who attend class regularly are more successful; therefore, students are expected to be present and on-time for class daily. Attendance will be taken on a daily basis. According to Franklin County Schools policy, absences are excused for the following reasons: illness or injury, quarantine, death in immediate family, medical and/or dental appointments, court or administrative proceedings, religious observance, educational opportunity. Students who are absent for an excused reason will need to submit a note to Franklinton High School. Students who are absent should check with the teacher for make-up work.  Make-up work (due to an excused absence) is allowed two days for each day of absence.  

Course Evaluation - Grading for this course is based on the following:

 

A: 100-90 B: 89-80 C: 79-70 D: 69-60 F: Below 60

Formative Assessments (Classwork/Homework/Quizzes) - 50% Summative Assessments (Tests/Projects/Labs) - 50%

 

Assignments should be completed and submitted the day they are assigned unless provided a different timeline by the teacher. Any work submitted more than one week late will result in a deduction of points. The grading period is 9 weeks. I will not grade make-up work from previous 9-week marking periods.

 

Final grading for this course will be based on the 1st 9-weeks/Q1 (40%), the 2nd 9-weeks Q2 (40%), and a final exam (20%). The final evaluation for this course is a CTE State Assessment.  This assessment will be a 100-item multiple choice test.

 

I have high expectations for all of my students. In this classroom, students will:

• Be prepared. Includes time, work, and equipment
• Be respectful. Includes people, property, and ideas.
• Be safe. 

• • Be responsible.

• • Water in a clear container is the only food/beverage allowed in the classroom.
