STUDENT CLOCK HOUR POLICY
We record the time clock hours of attendance, as a result the school can only give clock hour credit to students who record their attendance by using the time clock to sign in and out at the start and end of their class day and lunch period. A thirty (30) minute lunch break shall be taken when a student attends a 6-hour or more class day. If you are attending a less than 6-hour class day the school provides one 15 min break. Once theory classes have been started, no one will be allowed to enter the theory classroom. After clocking in, you are required to maintain applied effort and refrain from personal grooming, leaving the building, reading material or activities not related to your training. If this occurs, you will be asked to stop such activity or to punch out for the remainder of the day. Continued activities of this nature could result in your termination.
Leaving early is not permitted. Exceptions will be made only for doctor appointments or family emergency. Doctor appointments will require a note the next day. Permission to leave early due to an emergency or any extenuating circumstance will be granted at the discretion of the director.
