GOVERNMENT HONORS
PHYSICAL SCIENCE HONORS (9)
GUIDELINES: additional points will be added to the quarter grade and the term-exam grade for these advanced classes. Advanced placement will receive ten (10) points, and honors will receive six (6) points. All GPA's will be calculated on a 4.0 system. For purposes of determining class rank, the numerical average of grades will be used. Only advanced classes can receive points above 100 for the quarter grade and term-exam grade.
The following prerequisites will be applied for enrollment in advanced courses:
(1) grades B or above in that subject area or teacher recommendation
(2) stanines six [6] and above in that subject area
(3) placement tests and/or written essay
(4) contract commitment (one [1] term for English courses)
(An exception to these criteria may be granted by the principal after consultation with the parent, student, and/or teacher.)
e. The following percentages are for courses that are designated as Gateway-End-Of-Course tests will count fifteen percent (15%) and the final exam will count ten percent (10%), while the four grading periods will make up seventy-five percent (75%) of a student’s grade.
(1) Students who are absent the days of the Gateway-End-Of-Course Testing must have an excused absence as defined by this handbook. Students who have excused absences will be allowed to take a make-up exam developed by the course’s department. The department-made exam will count as fifteen percent (15%) of the grade. This policy does not satisfy Gateway graduation requirements.
(2) Students who have an unexcused absence will take the department-made exam. Only fifty percent (50%) of the test score will be averaged into the final grade. If a student fails to take this make-up exam within two weeks of the end of the course, a grade of zero (0) will be recorded.

(1) In order to meet the requirements for satisfactory attendance, a student in the Dickson County School System shall have an approved record of attendance. In order for students to receive credit in any course in which they have not maintained at least ninety (90) percent attendance, they must have a final average of seventy (70) or above and pass a comprehensive final examination. Students will be allowed to make up time for time to reach ninety (90) percent attendance prior to the examination.
(2) The attendance of students who have reached the age of eighteen (18) shall be satisfactory. Unsatisfactory attendance that is not supported by an adequate excuse shall result in the student’s being suspended. Request for re-admission must be made.
(3) A student must be in attendance for at least one hour of actual class time per block to be counted present for that class.
(4) Students will be required to show an admission slip for absences from school. The first four (4) absences will be excused unless the absence is hooky. After four (4) absences from any class, it will be the responsibility of the student to obtain a documented admission slip from the main office; otherwise, the absence will be unexcused.
(5) Students absent from school without their parent's knowledge shall be treated as playing "hooky."
(6) Students withdrawing from school for any reason must go through the proper clearance procedures with Counseling Department for transcripts and recommendations to be sent upon request.
(1) A student may receive an excused absence for up to four (4) times per block in either term for these situations:

Religious holidays
Death of someone who is not in the immediate family
Driver's license exam
Family request (note or telephone call from parent or
Legal guardian)
(2) Students involved in school-sponsored activities will be counted present.
(3) To be considered excused, absences in excess of four (4) days each term must be the result of the following only:
Sickness - documented by doctor's statement
Documented court appearance

Documented religious holiday
(4) The student may be excused from attendance, not from material covered or assigned work. It is the student's responsibility, not the teacher's, for make-up work in all subject matter covered during absences.
(5) The student will be requested to take tests or complete work assignments on the first day the student is back in school for absences of one (1) day or less. Checking out of school the period that something is due does not excuse the student from the work or the due date. The due time for make-up and/or make-up tests will be scheduled at the discretion of the teacher. If the absence is extended (at least two [2] days, but not in excess of five [5] days), a maximum of three (3) days will be given for make-up of a test or assigned work. If the absence is in excess of five (5) days, the student shall have a reasonable time to make-up tests or assigned work (not to exceed ten [10] school days).
(6) Assignments, including homework and out-of-class projects, that are due on a day when the student has been absent from school must be turned in upon returning to class the very next day (except in the case of extended absences).
Work missed due to any unexcused absences shall receive a grade of zero ("0"). This includes any graded assignment (i.e. - homework, in-class assignment, test, etc.) A teacher has the option to give a student the opportunity to make up work missed due to an unexcused absence for a maximum of fifty percent (50%) provided the work is made up on student's own time and initiative and make-up work is completed on the same time as excused absences.
d. REPORTING PROCEDURE FOR UNEXCUSED ABSENCES
(1) If and/or when a student commits a third (3) unexcused absence, a letter will be sent to the parents or guardian by the school in which that student is enrolled.
(2) If and/or when a student commits a fourth (4) unexcused absence, that student's name will be reported to the attendance director for appropriate action.
(3)If and/or when a student commits a fifth (5) unexcused absence, that student's name will again be reported to the attendance director, who will set a compliance date.
(4)If and/or when a student has an unexcused day after a compliance date has been set, that student’s name and facts of unlawful absence will be reported to the attendance director for a petition to Juvenile Court.
NOTE: UNEXCUSED ABSENCES FROM THE FIRST TERM DO CARRY OVER TO THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.

10. EARLY DISMISSALS
Students shall not be permitted to leave school premises during the school day without the request of the parent/guardian.

If students return to school before the end of the school day, they must report to the office immediately and sign in. Parents who wish to have their children excused from school must contact the office by telephone, note, or in person. Students who leave campus without permission will be treated as if playing hooky. No more than four (4) sign-outs will be excused each term without proper documentation: Sickness documented by a doctor’s statement, documented court appearance, death in immediate family, documented religious holidays. A student must have a phone call to be dismissed after the fourth sign-out each term.
11. TARDINESS
The tardy bell will be enforced to the limit. The tardy bell will ring seven minutes after the previous class has been dismissed. This is ample time for a student to get from one station to the next. Students are tardy if they are not in assigned seats when the tardy bell rings, do not have a note from another teacher stating they were held overtime, or must be sent to the office to get a documented admission slip for the previous day's absence and return to class after the tardy bell has rung. When a student is tardy, the teacher will issue a demerit slip, give the lower portion to the student and bring the other portion to the office at the end of each day. The accumulation of three demerit slips in a four-week period (twenty days) may result in detention or an in-school suspension assignment.
12. VISITORS
All visitors must be approved by an administrator.

This letter may be signed by the student if eighteen years old. This letter must be signed by one or both parents if the student is under eighteen.
