THE LAST DATE AN ASSIGNMENT WILL BE ACCEPTED WILL BE POSTED IN THE COMMENT SECTION OF THE ASSIGNMENT ON PROGRESS BOOK. ABSENCES ATTENDANCE IS CRUCIAL TO SUCCESS. WHEN YOU ARE ABSENT, EXCUSED OR NOT, YOU ARE MISSING VALUABLE INSTRUCTION AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO COLLABORATE WITH OTHERS. YOU ARE ALSO BEHIND AND MUST COMPLETE THE MISSED WORK AS WELL AS CURRENT ASSIGNMENTS. IF YOU KNOW YOU WILL BE ABSENT, PLEASE REQUEST YOUR WORK AHEAD OF TIME (EMAIL IS THE BEST WAY TO DO THIS). A STUDENT WHO HAS BEEN ABSENT MUST MAKE-UP ALL WORK THAT WAS MISSED WHILE HE OR SHE WAS ABSENT. STUDENTS WILL HAVE THE NUMBER OF DAYS THEY MISSED PLUS ONE EXTRA DAY TO MAKE UP THE WORK. IT IS THE STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO OBTAIN MISSED NOTES AND ASSIGNMENTS AND TO SCHEDULE MAKE-UP TESTS/QUIZZES WITH ME ONCE HE OR SHE RETURNS TO SCHOOL. FAILURE TO DO SO IN A TIMELY MANNER WILL RESULT IN LATE CREDIT OR NO CREDIT BEING GIVEN.
