General Policies & Procedures

Students are to know and follow the St. Tammany Parish and Salmen High 
School rules, regulations, and procedures set forth in the Parish 
handbook and the Salmen agenda book.  

Students are to come to class prepared every day for classwork.  All 
supplies identified by the teacher are to accompany the student each 
day in addition to any homework and/or preparatory work.

Students are expected to learn and follow procedures and guidelines set 
forth by the teacher to establish and maintain an effective, safe, and 
pleasant learning environment for all students.

It is the responsibility of each student to take notes during class and from 
assigned resource material, such as the text, internet, etc.

Students are to engage in a two-phase study approach daily: complete class 
and homework assignments AND study all notes and material to develop a 
richer understanding of science and the connections between all subjects 
within the discipline.  This approach provides students with the background 
necessary to be more critical thinkers and more aggressive problem solvers. 

Students are to use agenda books and/or notebooks to record assignment and 
test requirements and submission dates.  Failure to make such notations or 
to read them is not grounds for extending assignment or test dates.

All work is to be turned in on or before the last submission date.  

All classwork and tests are to be made up within two days of returning to 
class after an excused absence.  Extended illnesses necessitate a meeting 
between the student, parent(s), and teacher in order to establish a schedule 
for make-up work and tests.

Because course material is taught and learned over a week or more, a one-day 
absence before an assignment submission date or a test date is not grounds 
for not having the assignment or for not taking the assigned test.
