Journal

Each student will be responsible to have a health journal to reflect on various journal prompts throughout the semester. The journals will be collected each time we complete a unit and take a test.

Make-up work and tests

Students will need to make arrangements with the teacher prior to missing for any pre-planned absence regarding homework and test. For students who miss class due to illness, it is the responsibility of the student to meet with the teacher to determine what they missed and what they will need to make up.

Thank you,

Coach Hageman
