GRADUATION CEREMONY Only active Wheeler students who have met all graduation requirements set forth by the State of Georgia will be allowed to participate in the Graduation Ceremony. Students may also be excluded from participation in Graduation Ceremonies for failure to attend the required graduation practices, for failure to reconcile outstanding debts, and / or for any other reasons deemed necessary by the administration. Only ticket holders will be permitted into the event site. Non-ticket holders may view the ceremony via a live video broadcast.
NOTE: The school has no control over the number of available tickets. The total number of tickets given to each graduate is a function of the number of graduates in any given year and is based on the seating capacity as set by the local fire marshal.
HOMEWORK POLICY Homework is an essential part of the learning process. It is the student’ s and parent’ s responsibility to develop patterns of study at home, and it is the teacher’ s responsibility to employ homework in a meaningful manner. If a student is absent from class, it is the student’ s responsibility to check CTLS for information on missed assignments.
MAKE-UP WORK POLICY Students are expected to make up all work missed during an absence. It is the student’ s responsibility to find out what work was missed and to turn it in to his / her teachers. Students will be allowed one day for each day of absence plus one additional day to make up work missed during absences. For example, if a student is absent for two days, he / she will be allowed three days to make up work that was missed. Students should check with individual teachers for policies regarding makeup tests.
