To help make the most of our time in class, students should put their homework on the corner of their desks when they come into the classroom to help expedite checking. Students can also help by having a well-organized notebook that makes it easy to find their homework. If you are absent you must still turn in the homework to receive credit.

Back to TopWhat if I am absent?Work assigned prior to the absence is due upon return. This includes tests and exams that were announced prior to the absence or on the outline handed out at the beginning of each unit. Assignments listed on the unit outline are due upon return, except in case of illness. In case of illness, the student has two days for every day absent to turn in the assignments. The student is responsible for making up all assignments made during the absence. The student is also responsible to schedule a time to make up any exams. If the absence is unexcused you may not receive full credit for any made up assignments and exams. Back to TopWhat are your behavior expectations?#1
