If a student misses more than seven absences in a semester, they will not receive credit for this course, unless they make up the instructional time missed. Carson High School offers an Attendance Recovery program to assist students in making up time missed.

Extra-credit opportunity
At the beginning of most class periods, students will be asked to answer a "Bell Ringer" question relating to topics discussed the previous day's lesson. Students who answer the question correctly will earn one point. Points earned will be added to the next test grade. Tardy or absent students will forfeit their opportunity to earn the extra points.
