Make-up Work
All make-up work due to excused absences must be completed in a timely manner. If a student is absent for two days, he has two days to complete make-up work upon returning to school. Tests and quizzes will be made up as soon as possible after the absence. The student is responsible for obtaining missing notes and assignments. Students may check my website for assignments and weekly agenda.
