6. Makeup work Absent work is YOUR responsibility, even notes!
First place to check is the wall calendar to see what you missed
If there were any handouts from the day you missed, you can find them in the black absent bin on the shelves
I will do my best to upload all assignments onto Moodle
If you are absent you have as many days as you were absent to make up the work, this includes assignments, quizzes, & tests
If you had prior knowledge of an assignment, quiz or test and were present for the day the project was assigned, you still have the same due date as the rest of the class
If you fail to make up your work in this timely manner, your grade will go from an “0 X” to a “0 F”.
KEY POINT: I will NOT hunt you down to get your makeup work done, it is up to you!
Must be an EXCUSED absence to make up work

7. Moodle/Teacher website
I update Moodle/Teacher Website frequently with assignments and slides from the day
Anything your students need/miss in class can be found there.
If they lose their copy I give them in class, it is their responsibility to replace it by printing it out from Moodle

8. Parent contact Email me! Best/fastest way to get in contact
If you would like to meet, call student services to set up a conference
