HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTSOn the second day of absence, any student’s parent or guardian desiring homework assignments for his/her student who is not in school needs to call the Guidance Office (601-583-4688) by 9:00 a.m. These homework assignments may be picked up between 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. VIOLATION OF ATTENDANCE POLICY/SATURDAY SCHOOLA student violates the attendance policy when he/she receives an UNEXCUSED ABSENCE. Once the attendance policy has been violated, in order to retain credit for the course, the student must begin attending Saturday school to make up seat time for each course affected by the violation. This applies only to classes in which the student has a passing grade. Students who owe seat time are expected to keep up with their attendance and to make up any seat time owed as quickly as possible. Saturday school dates, times, and locations will be posted and announced repeatedly during the school year for the student’s convenience. No one will be allowed into Saturday school more than 5 minutes after the scheduled start time. Students who attend Saturday school must sign in. All make-up time for courses completed during the first semester must be completed by the end of the first semester, and all make up time for courses to be completed by the end of the school year must be completed by the last scheduled Saturday school in May. Failure to attend assigned Saturday School for a second time will result in 1 day of ISS and the student still owes the time. Students who plan to attend Prom must make up unexcused absences prior to the date of the Prom or cannot attend without special permission from the Principal. Any student failing to complete make-up time will lose credit in the course in which the make-up time was not completed. TARDY POLICYPetal High School expects students to be on time for each class; therefore, tardies are recorded for students who fail to do so. If a student is tardy the teacher will mark the tardy in the teacher’s roll book. All tardies after the second tardy to periods 1 through 6 will result in the student being assigned a day of ISS. CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT PROCEDUREStudents who check out of school early MUST present a note from their parent/guardian to the principal’s office BEFORE 8:25 a.m. on the day they are requesting early dismissal. Students approved to leave early must sign out in the Principal’s office before leaving school. Unauthorized check-outs will be treated as leaving school without permission. If it is necessary for a student to leave school early and a note from the parent/guardian was not presented as mandated, the student’s parent/guardian will be required to come to the school to sign the student out. TELEPHONE CALLS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED FOR EARLY DISMISSAL OF STUDENTS. A parent/guardian can come to the school and complete a Check-out Authorization Form that will authorize someone other than the parent guardian who is 21 years of age or older to check out the student. Excessive check-outs result in loss of instructional time and also disruptions of class. Students leaving school early during exams for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd nine weeks must have a parent come to the school and sign for their dismissal. Attendance is taken on these days, and students who miss school without an acceptable reason will be counted as absent. The only exception is the 4th nine weeks exams. A student must be in school at least 50% of their class schedule in order to participate in extracurricular activities, unless special permission is granted by the principal. Section 3 Student Behavior/DisciplineDISCIPLINEWe recognize that for learning to take place we must maintain conditions conducive to learning. Respect for authority is a value to be stressed. All students are to conduct themselves in an appropriate manner at all school-sponsored activities. Failure to do so will result in the student losing his/her privilege to attend such functions. Any student who starts or participates in any unauthorized disruption or disorderly protest will be suspended from school immediately and will be able to re-enter only after satisfactory assurance has been given in writing to the principal by the pupil and by his parents or guardian that there will not be a recurrence of this behavior. DISCIPLINE LADDER STEPS/CONSEQUENCESWhen a student is referred to the office, disciplinary action will be taken according to the following prescribed steps/consequences. Based on the severity of the offense the administrator has the authority to place student on a higher step on the ladder. Step 1
