Attendance: Students are expected to be on time and attend all classes from beginning to end. However, four absences will be allowed for illness and emergencies. More than four absences will result in withdrawal from that class, loss of credit and loss of fees. The principal may give a waiver due to extenuating circumstances.

Student Conduct: Night 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, loss of credit and forfeiture of fees.

Security: Security is provided throughout the evening. Parking is available on the school site.

Inclement Weather/Holidays: Night School follows the same procedures as regular school with regard to closings due to inclement weather and holidays. If there is no school for students, this includes night school students.

Exams and Grade Reports: Final 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, F=69 and below.
