Absences
SHS policy states:
having more than four excused or unexcused absences in this class will result
in losing your credit for this class
Tardies
If you are late, enter
the classroom quietly, pick up supplies for the day and get settled at your
desk. If you have 3 tardies in this class, your parents will be notified. On
your 5th tardy, you will be sent to In-School Suspension. The number
of tardies will also affect your citizenship grade.
Grading
This class is based on participation. It is vital that you come to class prepared,
be working while in class, and be present.
Part of
the student’s grade is in the form of participation points for contributing
ideas to class, being punctual, displaying appropriate behavior and having good
attendance. A full 50% of the class score is dedicated to participation since
it is assumed all enthusiastic about the learning process. Participation points
are figured by the following formula: Each student is awarded 100 points at the
beginning of each term. The student is docked 5 points for every tardy and 10
points for every absence. Disruptive behavior that interferes with another
student's opportunity to learn may cause you to lose 10 points.
Grading
is based more on learning a skill rather than on the student’s talent. There is
no reason why a student can't earn an “A” in class if they attend every day,
display appropriate behavior, and turn in all coursework on time. Students will
be graded on the following sections:
·
Participation 50%
·
Projects 30%
·
Sketchbook/Assignments 5%
·
Student Art Exhibit 15%
Please bring an 8”x10” drawing sketchbook from home,this will be your personal sketchbook to keep and carry with you.
Each student will have a shelf to keep their projects, their pencils and
erasers. If students lose their supplies, they will be charged for new
supplies.

Restroom
breaks should take place between classes. Students may request to leave the
classroom and will be given 5 hall passes to use for the semester. Once they are gone, they are gone! The
student may turn in the hall passes at the end of the semester for extra
credit.
Make-up Work and Late Work
Policy:
When the
student is absent, it is their responsibility to check and make up missed
coursework.
In the
event of an excused absence, the student will have until the next class period
to make up the coursework for full credit. After the next class, coursework
will be considered late work and will be docked 20% of the total grade earned
for every class period it is late after that. It is very important that you
turn in all coursework, even if late. Late coursework will only be accepted up
to two class periods after the original due date.
