Behavior is a very important component of the art room. Students are to come to class prepared to work. If you are late to class you will have to make p the time after school. Students at all times are to be respectful of the teacher, other students, their artwork and supplies in the room. If you do not follow these rules you will be given a detention. This class is not considered a traditional classroom; it is a room where students must move about getting supplies and working on projects. A student must be willing to use self-discipline in the area of behavior and work ethics.
Absences: The school allows 10 missed days during the semester. If you go over that amount you will need to get signed permission from the teacher if you wish to receive credit
Make-up work: You have two days to make up work for any absence. If you know you are going to be gone for any reason you need to have the work made up before you leave. If you miss in class work on sketches or project work, it is your responsibility to come in after school to get assignments or put in extra work time. Extra time will be given at the discretion of the Teacher.
