    Attendance/ Tardiness

     

     

    ·         I believe on being on time and being in class every day.  Students will have a hard time if they are not in class.  Student assignments are based on what we talk about in class lecture.  Therefore it is very important that students be in class every day. 

     

    Classroom Rules and Procedures

     

     

    ·         Classroom rules were given out to students the first day of class.  These rules are to be signed by the parent and by the student and brought back to Mr. Warren.

     

    Academic Integrity

     

     

    ·         If students are caught cheating, they will receive a zero for that assignment and will not be able to make it up.
