What happens when a student is absent on a test/quiz day?

If a student is absent on a test/quiz day, they have atleast 6 
opportunities 
to make-up that test or quiz (within the one week allowance).  
We have a 
test makeup center (new locations every week) for them to take 
this at.  
Please refer to my Test Make-up Calender; to find out which time 
and room 
your student will need to go if they need this accommodation.  
Thank you.
