for illness and emergencies. More than four absences
will result in withdrawal from that class, loss of
credit and loss of fees.

School operates in an adult atmosphere. Students are
expected to behave in a responsible manner. Any disruption
or acts of irresponsibility will result in withdrawal,

the same procedures as regular school with regard
to closings due to inclement weather and holidays.

night school students.

exams are given the last day of class. End of course
tests (EOCT) are taken at the home school during
the day. If the student is not enrolled in another
school, he will take the EOCT at the night school
location during the day. A grade report will be
given to the student and a copy sent to the student’s
home school counselor. Fulton County Schools’ grading
scale will be used. A=90 and above, B=80-89, C=70-79,
