What should I do if I am ABSENT?

  • If possible, see what you missed prior to class by checking the website or talking to a friend from class.
  • You have as many days as you were out to complete the missed assignments. For example, if you were gone 2 days, the work is due 2 classes later.
  • If you missed an assessment the day you were absent, it will need to be taken during the next tutoring date offered, or by appointment.

Other Expectations:

  • Participate in class.
  • Stay organized.
  • Write your homework in your agenda at the beginning of the class each day.
  • Take your ISN home each night so that you can always be reviewing and preparing for upcoming assessments.
  • Ask question! Please don’t hesitate to ask for help. I am here to help you and so are your classmates.

*If you ever need help or have questions, please do not hesitate to come talk to me after school, during tutoring, or send me an email.
