Make up and Late Policy:

¨       When you are absent for a class, it is your responsibility to check my website and see me if you have a question.  Work missed due to absence must be made up within one week.  If you are absent for more than three days, please see me. 

¨       Work due on the day of an absence is required to be handed in to me in person on the day you return to school.

¨       As a general rule, you must take a make-up test on the next day you are in school either at 7:30 a.m. or 2:00 p.m.

¨       The latest date for the make-up test will be one week. After that time, you will receive a failing grade for that test.
