Attendance
Attendance will be taken at each class period beginning at the first period. You may be absent a maximum of two class periods for any reason. After two class periods your grade will be lowered. If you foresee the need to be absent for more than two class periods during the quarter speak to the teacher about the problem and if the reason to be absent is judged to be valid by the teacher, arrangements will be made for missing more than two class periods, as detention might be issued.
