Absences/School Activities
1. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE for coming to talk to me on the first day that you return from an absence. There will be a folder system set up in order to help you get your work.
2. For each day that you are absent, you will receive the same amount of school days after you return to turn in your work. This does not apply to long-term assignments. If you are given a due date in advance, you will be expected to turn in that assignment upon your return.
3. Tests are case sensitive and will be handled with the best interest of the student in mind.
4. When you turn in make-up work, write the word ABSENT on the top of the assignment.
