In addition to the announcement/homework board located in the 
classroom, you can check your class' calendar on this website for 
a general description of what we'll be doing daily. The 
calendar is also helpful in checking assignment due dates, quiz, 
and test dates.

What is the policy for late assignments?

Late assignments are accepted ONE day after the due date, 
beginning at 50% credit. After one day late, late 
assignments lose 5 points a day. The point being: don't hand 
assignments in late.

How can I find out what notes/assignments/handouts I missed when I was absent?

When you return to school you will find any handouts you may have 
missed in an organizer by the door. Please locate yours and take 
them with you. All of your homework assignments are located on 
the board in the classroom and on thiswebsite by clicking on the 
homework icon for your class. If 
you are not able to do this you can email me or come see me after 
school.

What if I miss a lab or a quiz/test?

You must make it up before or after school within three 
school days. Sooner rather than later is for your 
benefit. You need to see me to agree on a mutually available time.

What if I am absent the day before the test?

Since tests are announced in advance, if you are absent the day 
before a test and miss that part of the review, you are 
still expected to takethe test. Exceptions are made if you were 
not present when the test was announced and the day(s) in between.

What is the policy regarding school trips?

You are responsible for any work covered during your absence.  In 
addition, you must submit any assignments due the day of 
the trip before leaving. A trip is not a valid excuse to 
submit work late.

What is the

An ABS in the gradebook means absent. It is your responsibility 
to check the homework board, website, or to see me on your 
time (during class is the class' time) to obtain any 
notes, handouts, or work assigned that you missed.
 

Any ABS will change to a zero if the assignment is not handed 
in promptly (you have as many days to complete as you were 
absent).
