Participation Make up

 

Upon an absence (other than an unexcused or truancy) see Mr. Breske for the opportunity

to complete a brief written assignment to recapture participation points for that day. You will have

one day to complete the make-up.

 

Make Up Work

 

It is the responsibility of the student to secure any make up work due to an absence. One

class period will be given for each day of absence. Failure to complete work on time will result

in a 50% reduction in points.
