*Keep in mind that regular attendance is very important to this course. Whenever class time is missed,
your overall understanding of the material becomes more difficult. Attendance guidelines follow those

return from the absence (*See Ligon grading policy for more details).

Communication Policy: I strongly encourage communication between my students, myself,

and parents/guardians. We are a team!

Parents/Guardians: I will do my best to respond to e-mail as long as I receive the e-mail by the
end of the school day. If the e-mail is sent after the school day is over, I will respond to that e-
mail on the following day.
Students: All of your assignments will be posted on our class website, which will be updated
on a regular basis.
