Make-up work:

When a student is absent, it is the responsibility of the student to make-up work which is missed.  Students should look on the calendar on my website to find the assignments and come see me for handouts.  All assignments should be made up within 3 days of the student’s return to class.  Please see me about arranging a time to make up any quizzes and tests.

 

Student Planners:

Students are given planners and they are expected to begin each class period by copying the topic and any assigned homework which is written on the white board. The student planner is an excellent way for the parent to maintain a daily log of the child’s work.
