Attendance Policy
The current West Mesa Attendance policy will be enforced, which includes excused, unexcused and Mustang activity
absences. If a student exceeds the current guidelines, he or she may be dropped from the class and will NOT receive
credit for the course. It is imperative students attend class daily, please schedule appointments after school hours.
La política de ausencias de West Mesa será aplicada que incluye ausencias justificadas, injustificadas y Mustangs de
actividad. Si un estudiante supera la política actuales, él o ella puede ser quitado de la clase y no recibirán crédito por el
curso. Es imperativo que los estudiantes asiste a clase todos los días, por favor arreglan citas después de horas de
escuela.
Academic dishonesty
Any form of academic dishonesty (copying, cheating, and plagiarism) will result in a failing grade for the assignment and
disciplinary actions. Academic dishonesty for end of semester projects or exams may result in a failing semester grade.
Homework
Assignments will be stated or posted daily. If a student does not complete assigned class work, the work must be
completed at home in addition to assigned homework. Homework, and minor self-checked assignments, are stamped "on
time" only at the beginning of the period. Incomplete homework is not accepted.
Graded assignments
Graded assignments may NOT be turned in late. Students may not work on incomplete homework or assignments instead
of the day's assignment. Attempts to do so will result in a zero for the work. Be prepared. All assignments will be turned in
promptly or they will not be accepted.
Make-Up Work
It is the student’s responsibility to request and obtain all make-up assignments through the online lesson planbook,
absent class binder, or speak to room captains before approaching the teacher. Students with excused absences are
permitted two class days to complete and turn in missed work and must be stamped “Absent.” Daily or long-term
assignments, exams or projects are due on the assigned day regardless of absent. A student with an unexcused
absence will receive a zero for work turned in the day of the absence.
Long-term assignments
These are assignments given at least two weeks in advance, and are due the day of your return from an excused
absence IF you spoke to the instructor in advance. It is not fair to turn in long term assignments late, this provides the
student extra time not allotted to everyone. Every effort must be made to turn in work on time. If the student is
excused from this class through an approved Mustang absence, long-range assignments are due on the scheduled
day either before class, between classes or during lunch in order to avoid late penalties or a zero.
Exams
Exams are teacher’s choice and students will receive at least one week’s notification to allow ample study time. Please
form study groups with classroom peers. Test items include information from the textbook, handouts, class discussions,
notes, movies, and activities. Exams will be difficult and include multiple-choice, short answers; fill in the blanks and essay
questions. Study.
Electronic Policy
Cell phones and other electronic devices are NOT permitted in the academic setting. Students with these items are
required to keep them out of sight and in the off or silent position during the entire class period. Failure to abide by this
policy will result in the confiscation or the item and turned in to the main office at the end of the school day. The student’s
parent or guardian will be required to pick up the device from the main office. Per WMHS policy, these devices may be
picked up in the main office on Thursday’s from 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Emergency Situations: you may contact your
child via the West Mesa switchboard; they will contact the student if there is an emergency during class time. Please do
not text or call your child during class and expect them to respond. Academic Instructors and Office Personnel are
not responsible if the item is lost or stolen because of student misuse. If your child cannot comply with these guidelines,
it may be best to leave these items at home.
Extra Credit
My philosophy on extra credit is simple…Extra credit is extra work for the teacher. The only extra credit provided is Scenic
USA, which is the responsibility of the student to complete and turn in the beginning of each month for the previous
month. Students may earn extra credit for exceptional work on required assignments.

Failing Students
Students should check their grades regularly through the school’s electronic system or by checking posted grades. Any
student with a D (65% or less) is required to telephone their parent or guardian weekly and complete a progress report,
which must be signed by their parent/guardian until their grade improves. Failings students will not be granted special
privileges, to turn in late work to “pass the class.” Please do not ask it is best to monitor student grades throughout the
semester.
Los estudiantes deben consultar sus calificaciones periódicamente a través del sistema electrónico de la escuela o ver
las calificaciones puesto en la clase. Cualquier estudiante con una D (65% o menos) necesita hablar con sus padres
sobre el teléfono y completar un informe, que deberá ser firmado por sus padres hasta que mejore su calidad.
Estudiantes con calificaciones bajas no tendrán privilegios especiales, para entregar trabajo para "pasar la clase." Por
favor no pregunten es mejor controlar las calificaciones de los estudiantes durante el semestre.
Tutoring
Tutoring hours are available throughout the day, either in the morning (before school), during lunch and afterschool from
230-330 pm except for Wednesdays after school. Speak with the instructor for tutoring appointments. In addition West
Mesa has additional tutoring options available on campus. Speak to the counselors.

Movies
Throughout the semester the students may watch selected content related movie clips or videos. Generally most content
related historically relevant movies may be rated R, in these situations parent permission forms will be sent home prior to
the showing of any R-rated movie. I believe select movies in the classroom can greatly benefit students. Please feel free
to contact me at any time regarding the materials and information discussed in the classroom.
