Important Information from Syllabus and Parent Letter:
"No late work will be accepted unless the student has been absent. It is the responsibility of the student to speak with me about make-up work upon return to school. Furthermore, all make-up work must be submitted in a timely manner (this will be discussed when students receive their make-up work). The best time to get make-up work is before or after school; with short class periods it will be difficult to attend to this during the class."
