The Work:

responsibility for obtaining and completing any
make-up work.

Make-Up Policy After Absences:
It is the student’s responsibility to find
out what was missed and to plan to make it up.
To make up missed work, arrange a time to meet
with me to complete the needed assignments. You
will be expected to make up missed work or tests
within a number of days equal to the number of
days missed. Any assignment, quiz, or test missed
due to an unexcused absence will be marked a “0”.
Late Work Policy:
All assignments are due at the beginning of the
period on the specified date. Any assignment turned
in late will receive a maximum of only 50%.
Cheating:
Cheating will not be tolerated. Cheating on any
exam, quiz, or assignment will result in a “0”.
There will be no opportunity to make this up.
See the parent handbook for more information.

school or by e-mail.
