FSHISD ATTENDANCE POLICY
Regular school attendance is essential for the student to make the most of his or her education. Attendance is taken at 9:30 a.m. Students not at school at 9:30 are counted absent for the entire day.
Generally speaking, students are allowed one day to complete work for each day absent.
Students will be considered tardy if they are not in their class when the tardy bell rings at 7:50 a.m. Students tardy to school must be checked in by their parent. Tardies count and will impact Attendance Awards.
FOURTH GRADE SCHEDULE FSHE School Day - 7:45 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. Students
are tardy if not in their classroom by 7:50 a.m.

MAKE-UP WORK• Make up work that is to be recorded in the grade book will be completed in
the school setting – unless it’s otherwise impossible, due to time constraints and new material being introduced.
• Students may also be assigned to attend afterschool instructional recovery if they are unable to complete missed or late assignments during the school day on more than one attempt. The campus expectation is that all required assignments will be completed by the student.
• Excused assignments will be recorded in the grade book as “exc” and are not counted for or against the student’s average.
• Missing assignments will be recorded in the grade book as “msg” and calculated as a zero.
• The number of assignments to be made up is at the discretion of the teacher as long as an appropriate representation of the student’s ability is obtained.
Instructional Recovery may also be used for completion of missing assignments.
PRINCIPAL’S GRADING PLAN Grading opportunities in this plan are
agreed upon by the grade level and will include the following categories:

RETEACHING AND RETESTING PROCEDURES Reteach / Re-grade Opportunities are
given for failing grades. If you see a “redo/return” on the top of a paper,
your child will have the opportunity to raise their grade to a MAXIMUM of 70% if the child redoes the paper and obtains a parent signature.
If your student earns a grade below 70% on their first attempt of an assignment (not tests), they are permitted to obtain further instruction and then redo the assignment for a maximum grade of 70%. This requires a parent signature
