What do I do if I am absent from class?
Makeup for absencesIf a student has an extended absence, a makeup folder with instructions and due dates will be given to the student upon return.For short absences, missed tests should be taken the day the student returns.If a student is absent, he/she is expected to make up the work within 2 days after the absence and to see me or a classmate for an explanation of what work was missed.If a homework assignment was checked in class while absent, the student must turn in the work upon return to class. Be sure to check Teacher Web or phone a friend to get the homework while you are out of school. Get the phone number of several classmates. All tests and assignments should be made up by Friday of the week in most cases. It is also the student's responsibility to copy any missed notes, get missed handouts from teacher, and to view a copy of any presentations missed. Remember students need to make up work for missing class because of field trips.Excessive absences can negatively affect grades, so I encourage students to miss school as little as possible.
