Students have five (5) days to makeup work missed that was assigned on a day the student was absent. If student misses an announced quiz, test, project or homework assignment, that quiz, test, project, or homework assignment is due the day the student returns. There will be absolutely NO LATE WORK accepted. || Parents will be notified after the **sixth** and **tenth** absence of possible denial of course credit. The administrative team along with parent and student will create a plan for attendance improvement.
 * |||| **__ Algebra II Honors __**
 * **Course Title:** |||| Algebra II Honors ||
 * **HS Credits:** |||| 1 ||
 * **Course Description:** |||| Algebra II continues the students’ study of advanced algebraic concepts including functions, polynomials, rational expressions, systems of functions and inequalities, and matrices. Students will be expected to describe and translate among graphic, algebraic, numeric, and verbal representations of relations and use those representations to solve problems. Emphasis should be placed on practical applications and modeling. Appropriate technology, from manipulatives to calculators and application software, should be used regularly for instruction and assessment. ||
 * **Instructional Approaches:** |||| Students will use technology to explore algebraic concepts and learn to use these concepts in practical mathematic applications. ||
 * **Class Meeting Dates, Times, Locations:** || Monday - Thursday

 * ** Make-up or Late Work: **
 * **Academic Integrity:** Craven Community College and Craven Early College is committed to academic excellence through honesty and integrity. To protect all students from the results of dishonest conduct, the College has adopted policies to address these issues. It is the responsibility of each student to become familiar with and understand all academic policies and the consequences for failure to adhere to these policies. Please read and follow all policies listed in the Campus Planner or in the Student Handbook **Code of Conduct** at: [] ||
 * **Attendance, Tardiness:**
 * Attendance ** **Procedure**:
 * First-Twentieth ** absence-Student is expected to request make up work from their teachers and is responsible for making up that work within five school days. If absences are consecutive more time may be allowed at the teacher’s discretion.
 * First-Twentieth ** absence-Student is expected to request make up work from their teachers and is responsible for making up that work within five school days. If absences are consecutive more time may be allowed at the teacher’s discretion.
 * Twenty-first ** absence-**If a student misses more that twenty days (20), course credit will be denied unless waived by SSMT (Student Services Management Team).** Student may request an appeal for a waiver to the SSMT due to extenuating circumstances (i.e. illness, death in immediate family, etc.). **Student must be able to document all days of absences in the appeal process (examples-court documents, doctors’ notes).** Waiver decisions will be determined at the end of the school year.

[] || Students are reminded to be accountable for their own performance in class. Please be respectful of everyone in and out of class. Most importantly, do not be afraid to ask for help – your teacher cannot read your mind! || [] ||
 * Tardy Procedure ** :
 * 1) First tardy-Teacher records tardy and warns student.
 * 2) Second tardy-Teacher emails or calls parent that the second tardy has occurred and reminds parent of possible consequences.
 * 3) Third tardy-Student will stay after school and will be assigned cleanup detail.
 * 4) Continued tardiness will result in other consequences determined by the Dean. ||
 * **Learning and Other Resources on Campus:** Craven Community College offers the following resources to support student education goals: The Academic Skills Center provides a Tutorial Computer Lab, Writing Lab, and Math Lab. These labs are staffed by instructors and advanced students to offer assistance with any level of math or writing.
