General Policies:
*Homework: Students are required to come to class prepared with the homework assigned for that given day. Homework is typically reviewed, corrected and/or collected on the day it is due. Some classes allow work to be submitted one day late for partial credit, but most late work will only be accepted due to absence or extenuating circumstances.
*Locker Visitation: Students may visit their lockers between classes, but are discouraged from going between every class due to lack of time. The team teachers will help students plan out the best times to visit lockers based on their schedules. Students are also encouraged to think ahead to determine what is needed for classes in order to prevent the need to leave class to retrieve forgotten items at their lockers. After the first month of school, students will not be permitted to go to their lockers once class has begun.
*Bathroom Usage: Students will be encouraged to use the bathroom and water fountain between classes or during times that are the least disruptive to classroom instruction. If a student needs to visit the bathroom, he/she must ask for the teacher's permission before leaving the classroom. In addition, all classrooms have a sign out sheet and hall/bathroom pass for the student to carry. Lastly, students may bring plastic water bottles to class (containing water ONLY, please) to eliminate the disruption of frequent visits to the water fountain.
*Music Lessons: Each team teacher has a Music Lesson Sign Out Calendar posted in his/her classroom. Off team teachers (world language, physical education, cycle classes) may have slightly different procedures. Students are required to sign out for a music lesson at least 24 hours prior to the date of the music lesson and must submit all assignments due on that day prior to attending the music lesson. Students are also responsible for all instruction/work missed while attending the lesson. The best time for students to make up missing work is during FLEX on the day they missed class.
