It is
your responsibility to be caught up with the rest of the class as soon as
possible. See the teacher immediately
upon returning to get missed work/assignments and turn in promptly.
§
If you
miss a quiz, you will be able to make it up in class the
following day. In most cases you will
know about upcoming quizzes several days in advance so absences should cause
little interference in getting caught up—be prepared when you return!

miss a test, you will need to make an appointment to come in outside
class to make it up. The best time
to do this is on Monday morning or immediately after school.

in case of excused absence) or extra credit at the end of grading
periods. Turn in all missing work from
absences as soon as possible when you return.
