Retakes Each quiz/exam retake is allowed by teacher discretion. In order to retake a quiz or exam, the student must schedule a retake time with me by the end of the unit. I am available before school and at lunch for students to retake a test/quiz. Students may also re-do any classwork and turn it in by the end of the unit. DO NOT THROW ANY WORK AWAY UNTIL THE END OF THE YEAR!

Make-up Policy Students will be given two days per day absent to make up any work that was assigned when not present in class. Students and parents can access my teacher website to stay informed of our daily activities, what is due, and any homework. Students can also utilize advisory time to see teachers for missing work and help. **It is the student’s responsibility to inquire about any missed work and to make-up all learning and assignments on time.

Thank you for coming, I look forward to having a great year with your student!
