Absent students should check google classroom and the teacher connection website for make-up work. It is the student’s responsibility to complete missed classwork, turn in homework or, to request to take a missed test the day of their return from the absence.

Students are expected to complete all assignments and submit them on or before the day it is due.  Any work submitted the day after it was due will earn, at best , a 60% score.  Work submitted two or more days after the due date will not be accepted. Pre-determined due dates for assignments that can be submitted online are expected to be submitted on time even while absent.
