Attendance/Make-up Policy
Spanish I & II: Sr. Nordquist, 2001-2002

“Daily practice is the key to success”No make-up for unexcused absences or tardies as defined in the THS Student Handbook.

Make-up work for excused absences must be completed within a period of school days equal to the number of school days in any consecutive absence. Example: Juanito is absent 2 days (Thursday and Friday). Therefore he has 2 days (Monday and Tuesday) after returning to class to complete any make-up work. His make-up work would be due on Wednesday.

Make-up work not completed within the allowed time will be penalized 50 percent.
A limited amount of “extra-credit” may be announced in class or arranged on an individual basis in order to recover points lost due to unexcused absences or missed due dates. However, the number and nature of these assignments are entirely up to the instructor’s discretion.

Students are required to serve one detention for each unexcused absence or 3 unexcused tardies. Detentions may be served with me in room 47 (30 minutes: do Spanish homework then wash desks, windows, clean white board, or in school-wide detention (contact the main office for times and locations). A list of students with detentions to serve will be posted each Tuesday in class and parents will be called. Students have one week to serve detentions or they double. More than four detentions will result in a disciplinary referral. Unserved detentions at the end of the 9-week period or semester will result in a grade of Incomplete.
