Students and Parents or Guardians, please read the statement below:

Mr. Hensley went over the syllabus, course content, art studio expectations,

grading, attendance, and tardy policies. He also covered the Howard High

School policy regarding cell phones and other electronic devices. I have seen a

copy of Howard High Schools Discipline Ladder and understand the

consequences outlined. Mr. Hensley answered any questions I had about the

syllabus and I understand what is expected of me in Art class.

Tardy and Attendance Policy

Be in the room and ready to learn when the bell rings.

If you are late, you must sign the Tardy clipboard before joining the class.Discipline Ladder applies.

The only excused tardy that I accept must be accompanied by a teacher s

signature in your agenda book.

All assignments are expected by the specified due date which will be

clearly posted for you.

If you are Sick or Out of Class for any reason, it is your responsibility to find outwhat you have missed and make it up. That means you must ask a classmate what youmissed or initiate a conversation with me.

Late assignments will not be accepted without an excused absence, in which case,you will have the same amount of time you were absent to make up the work (outside ofclass).

Extensions on a final assignment will be given at my discretion and only to thosestudents who work diligently in class and cannot finish or work meticulously... not tothose who waste studio time.

Do-over Policy - If you are not happy with the job you did on a final assignment thefirst time around you can submit 1 re-do per quarter.
