Non-dressing and non-participation without a doctor's note will result in a grade of 50 for the day. After 3 unexcused non-dresses in 6 weeks, parent contact will be made, the student will receive a morning detention, and subsequent non-dresses will result in a 50 for the day. Parents, please encourage your child to come prepared for class.
