Student Absences

If you are absent for any reason it is your responsibility to find out what the assignments were for the days you were absent.  You have one school day for each day that you are absent to make up the work.  You can only make up the work if you had an excused absence for the day.

 Late Work

Assignments can be turned in late one day for half credit.  After one day regardless of point value or reason work will not be graded and averaged in as a zero.
