- Important: Student Pre-arranged Absences for 2010-2011
-
Pre-arranged absences may be granted for family trips, other appointments, vacations, extended vacations, non-school sponsored athletic contests, etc. Therefore, with the exception of absences other than medical, dentists, funerals, and family emergencies, notice must be made in writing and verbally five (5) school days in advance of the absence. Failure to pre-arrange the absence will result in an unexcused absence(s). Prearranged absences are not allowed during semester exams. Arrangements must be made with the attendance office and a pre-arranged form must be completed. The students have the responsibility for securing each teacher’s signature and completing all class work as the teacher requires. This could be before the absence. No make-up work will be allowed for an unexcused absence.

- ATTENTION: ALL STUDENTS TAKING HONORS CLASSES
-
Please be aware of the fact that if an Honors Class requires summer work, it must be completed on time or Mrs. Bedwell will be informed and you will be dropped from the class. NO EXCUSES!
On rare occasions, Mrs. Bedwell is unable to accommodate a class change request because of the way our master board is arranged. It could possibly be, then, that switching from an Honors Class to a regular class is impossible. In that case, there are three scenarios:
1. You would not receive that class at all and have to make another choice.
2. In the case of American History Honors/Regular, you would have to think about summer school. This is a required class for graduation.
3. You would start the Honors Class with a deficit average.If you have any questions, please speak to the teacher of your Honors Class.
