-Any student who is caught with their cell-phone or other electronic device will have it taken away and it will be turned into the office.
Substitute Teacher:
-A substitute should be treated with as much respect as I expect you to treat myself or any other teacher. This includes:

-NO cell-phones, IPods, etc.

Tardiness/Absences:
If you are absent from class it is your responsibility to find out what you missed the day before. Ask another student in class what you missed or ask me before class begins, after class, or during work time throughout the hour. Any work that is not turned in the day after an unexcused absence will be considered late. Any test or quiz that was missed with an excused or unexcused absence will be taken the day upon your return to school.
Students arriving late to class without a pass will be given one free tardy warning. (the tardy will still be marked on your daily attendance) Any time a student is tardy after their one warning, they will be issued a detention. A detention will be issued each time the student is tardy after the first free tardy. The detention will be served with me after school. If the detention is not served by its due date, it will be turned over to the office as a referral for an un-served detention.
***According to the state law and new school policy – any tardy is considered a truancy.***
All tardies to class and absences will be recorded on your daily attendance that is reported to the office.
Any student arriving after the first 10 minutes of class will be considered absent. (As according to the student handbook)
