Students are reminded to come to  school each day on time! Students if you are absent, remember that 5  unexcused absences in an annual course, or 3 unexcused absences in a semester  course, will result in a no credit (N/C) for the class.  MLEC is in  a block schedule, therefore 5 unexcused absences in an annual course WILL  result in 10 unexcused absences and WILL result in a no credit being issued,  and 3 unexcused absences in a semester course will equal six absences and also  result in a no credit.  Remember if you are absent you MUST bring a note  and receive an admit to excuse your absence. Admits are issued in the  Student Services Office prior to the start of school each day and during lunch  and after school in the Main Office with Ms. Cheron. Do not be absent  unnecessarily.  
      Students arriving tardy to school  must sign in at the Tardy   Center. Students with  excessive tardies will be required to serve an Administrative Detention.   BE ON TIME!!! AND COME TO SCHOOL EVERYDAY!!!
