Adhere to Julian’s dress code and electronic policy

1)Be in your seat when the bell rings and remain in your seat… unless you have permission to leave your seat. Be prepared to start class.

2)Be respectful. I expect each student to show common courtesy to others in the classroom. You should listen while others are speaking, raise your hand when you want to speak and leave others alone when they are working.

3)Follow all the rules in your student handbook. The teacher has the right to teach, students have the right to learn. None shall interfere with these rights.

Remediation Plan Policy:

A Remediation Plan is utilized to assist students in improving student’s academic performance. To be eligible for this plan, students cannot have more than 9 days of unexcused absences per quarter (3 tardies equals 1 absence) and overall number average cannot be less than 60%.

Attendance Policy: All Percy L. Julian students are expected to attend

school regularly. Each student is expected to maintain at least 80% attendance in order to participate in school activities, field trips, etc. This means that students should not miss more than 10 days of school per semester regardless of whether the absences are excused or unexcused. Students should be aware that a “cut” is considered to be an absence – a “cut” class is any class where a student does not receive the teacher’s permission to be somewhere else even if this is in another class with another teacher. All students need passes.

Also, per Board policy, students who miss more than 18 unexcused absences may be ineligible to earn credit for any class that they take. It is prudent that all students present notes to the attendance office upon returning.
