Due to the nature of our curriculum and our commitment to developing successful workplace behaviors, attendance is a high priority at RMC. Student grades reflect both their academic performance and their commitment to professionalism (which includes timely attendance).

Academic Grades
This is the grade we normally think of when a student completes a course, for example, A, B-, C, etc. The academic grade is based on how much and how well students complete assignments.

Attendance
If a student, for whatever reason, fails to attend at least 90% of the scheduled time, that student will automatically lose the credit for the course that he or she is working on, but may petition the school for reinstatement of that credit. If a student exhibits a habit of absenteeism, he or she will lose his or her seat in the onsite program until it can be proven that the problem has been successfully overcome. If a student is placed in the online program, he/she will remain in the online program for the remainder of the school year.
If you are going to be absent or late, a parent or guardian must call the office. Students are required to email teachers during an absence. This is good practice for essential workplace skills.
Students with ongoing and persistent medical issues that may result in sporadic or intermittent absences should inform the office in advance of these needs and may be required to provide documentation.

Volunteering
High Schol Students are required to earn 5 hours of approved volunteer service hours for each session attended. Students who complete less than 3 hours of volunteer service in any given session will be placed on probation and if he/she fails to meet this requirement during the next session will be removed from the program. Students may earn one elective credit once per year if they log 60 hours or more of volunteer service for the school year. Students may earn a maximum of two credits for volunteer service hours. Learn more on our Volunteer page.

Workplace Behavior Grade
The workplace behavior grade is a demonstration of the student's willingness to adhere to the Workplace Behaviors of RMCHS. The Workplace Behavior grade consists of demonstrating knowledge and application of the Workplace Behaviors, attitude, citizenship, adherence to school policies, and volunteer service hours.
