License
-Perry
County High School is required to report students age 15-17 who: drop
out of school without graduating or remain out of school for 10
consecutive days; have more than 15 days of absences in any semester.

Cutting Class/Truancy
-If a
student is any place other than that directed by the school during class
time, he/she is considered cutting class and will be subject to
disciplinary action. |

Make-Up Tests and Class work
-Make-up
tests will be given by the instructor as quickly as the student returns
to school. If a student misses one day of school and a test is given on
that day, he/she will be expected to make up the test the following day
or at the convenience of the instructor.
The
instructor should require make-up work to be completed in the same order
that it was scheduled. The student is responsible for contacting his or
her instructor on make-up work, his or her grade will be affected by his
or her actions. A zero will be averaged into his or her grade. Any class
work or tests missed during a suspension or expulsion will not be made
up. Failing grades will be issued for the work missed.
Mid-term
and final tests are very important, and are averaged a 25% of a
student's semester grade. Therefore, we urge all students to be at
school for these tests with utmost importance. No tests will be given
early. |
