ATTENDANCE Students
will attend
class daily, and be prepared
to work at the start
of class. A student is considered TARDY if not seated
when the bell rings for the beginning of class. A student is considered
ABSENT if a class, or a significant portion (10
minutes or more) of a class is missed. Three tardies will also be
counted as an absence. The Nathan Hale attendance policy requires students to appeal for credit in a class when ten absences are reached. Academy class (Language Arts, Social Studies, Science and Health) students are required to appeal for credit after five absences are reached. This is due to the fact that academy classes change quarterly, and are longer in class period length than semester classes.
Always giving your individual best effort Being quiet and listening when others are talking Respecting school property, and the property of others Remaining seated during class presentations by teachers or students Using appropriate language (no swearing or put-downs, in any language)
Students will be allowed to drink
water during class time.
Other than water, eating/drinking in the classroom will be allowed only
during silent reading time, except for special occasions, planned in
advance by the instructor. Students are expected
to be in class, prepared to work, during
class time (see Attendance expectation). It is the student's
responsibility to take care of non-classroom needs, such as trips to
the bathroom or getting materials from lockers, during passing time. To
accommodate unusual or unforeseen circumstances, students will be given
two hall passes per quarter by their mentor teacher. RESPONSIBILITY The Nathan Hale staff is dedicated
to providing a supportive
environment for student learning. Ultimately, responsibility for that
learning belongs to the student. In addition to the expectations above,
all Hale students are expected to show responsibility for their own
learning by: Turning in work on time (see Late Work, below) Doing their own work (see Cheating, below) Supporting other members of their learning community, both students and staff LATE WORK Late work
is any work turned in after
the assigned date or
time without advance agreement from the instructor. Late daily work
results in losing 50% credit.Late major projects results in a loss of
10% each day. It is the responsibility of the student to discuss late
work with the instructor. CHEATING
Cheating is taking
credit for any work
that is not your own. No
credit will be given for
work that is other people's work.
This can include copying on a test, copying homework, and plagiarising
(copying from a published author without giving them proper credit). In
the case of homework or tests, both persons will lose credit for the
work. RESPONSIBLE SCHOLARSHIP is expected of all students. |
