Will Ms. Helms hunt me down to give me missed assignments when I am absent?

No! Please come see me to pick up make up work when you have been absent. 
This is your responsibility. You will have 1 day per missed day to hand in 
make-up work.

So what do I do if I'm absent?

Pick up homework and Warm-ups at the front of class (by the green box).  
Quizzes cannot be made up as we go over these in class, but I will drop the 
lowest two and other zeros can be corrected with "possible points".

Do I HAVE to take notes???

Absolutely!  Any material that I cover in class is fair game for test and 
quiz questions.

What are "possible points"?

These are extra cresit points earned by class participation, good behavior, 
extra credit work and current events.  They will go into a point bank for 
the 6-weeks and can be used at the end of the 6-weeks to make up points on 
tests, quizzes and homework grades.  ***They can also be deducted for bad 
behavior and failure to follow the classroom rules.
