Attendance

Regular school attendance is important and essential for the academic development of students.  Excessive absences (excused and unexcused) from school or tardiness to class and/or early dismissals from class are detrimental to such development.  Class attendance is VERY important.  Students are responsible for giving absentee notes to the teacher as they enter the classroom upon returning to school following an absence or an early dismissal. We will follow the Humboldt Jr/Sr High School’s attendance policy outlined in the Student Handbook.

Grades

Grades will be entered each week into power school.  You will receive a participation grade as well as grades for any assignments and/or projects assigned.  I do not assign busy work.  Any work assigned will be graded and feedback will be given.
