Students who have been absent need to clear their absence before reporting to their first class. You must arrive at school with enough time to clear the absence and still arrive in class on time. Please bring a note written in ink from your parent/guardian to explain your absence, with name, grade, and date of birth neatly printed in the top left corner.

Textbook policy
Students are provided textbooks free of charge, but with the responsibility of those books being returned at the end of each semester. Failure to return the books or to return books that have been damaged beyond normal wear and tear will result in fines that must be paid. Students are to keep all books covered with a book cover and bring books to class daily or as directed by the instructor. Fines for lost books or damages are kept on file and failure to pay those fines will result in non-participation in Graduation and other events. Also, when students check out of school, all books must be returned or the value of the book must be paid.
