Missed Assignments or Tests: It is the student’s responsibility to find out the assignments missed when absent and get them completed. When students are absent from school for school related functions, they need to request assignments prior to being absent. Make-up tests and/or assignments may be different from the original test or assignment. Students will have five days to make up missed assignments or tests.
Disciplinary Procedures: Students will be expected to follow all rules and guidelines as per Guntersville High School Student Code of Conduct. Mature and appropriate classroom behavior is expected at all times. Any infraction of classroom or school rules will require disciplinary action. This action will range from verbal warning, written assignment, parental contact, and/or sent to grade level principal.
Grading Procedures: Grades will be determined by points earned divided by points possible. Points will be earned from homework, quizzes, comprehensive section and chapter tests, notebook tests, class work, outside projects, nine-week and final exams. All notes and assignments must be kept organized in a notebook. There will be random notebook tests throughout each nine-week grading period.
Restroom Policy: Leaving the classroom results in missed material, disruption of class and/or disruption of other classes. Ideally, students need to take advantage of the time between classes, break, and lunch to use the restroom.
