Attendance Policy

I abide by the very strict attendance policy put into place by the PLC. In the course of our 12 weeks together, you are allotted no more than four absences. If you are ill or have an otherwise excused absence, you may call me or email me prior to the start of class. If you do so, you may make up the time during Friday school, and will not receive an absence. This is a new feature the PLC is offering this year, which we hope will benefit those of you who must miss class but do not want to get behind.

However, if you do not attend Friday school for the date I assign, your absence will stand. Because I show leniency in this way, I do not offer appeals for students going over in attendance. (The only exception to this is if all of your absences are excused and consecutive, meaning you have not yet had the opportunity to attend school on a Friday. That is a rare circumstance.)

Do not expect to be able to make up class time for the following reasons:

slept through alarm
didn't feel like coming in, etc.
an otherwise excused absence in which you did not alert me that you would be absent

Just remember, if you hold up your end of the deal and try your best, you will excel and learn a lot in this class!

Welcome to Class!

Hello Everyone,

Thank you for checking in to your class. I hope we have a great, productive school term together. This class is Tenth Grade Literature and Composition credit, in which we will discuss reading, literature, writing, conventions and listening, speaking and viewing, as required by the state of Georgia for a credit towards graduation.

There are many things that you will need to keep in mind for this class, so each major point will have its own link on this blog.

For example, be sure to read the links for the syllabus and attendance policy and pay careful, close attention any time you see the words "Georgia Performance Standards (GPS)."

Each of your assignments will be explained here fully, so be sure to read the information before attempting to complete the work.

Enjoy!

Mrs. Scredon
