Absent Policies
If you are absent, you have one extra day for each day that you
missed. For example, if you are sick on Tuesday your homework will
not be due until Thursday.
It is your responsibility to find out what assignments you missed.
Any work that was assigned before the absence must be turned in on
the day of your return.
Tests are announced many days in advance. If you miss the day
before a test, you will be expected to take the test with the
class. If you are absent the day of the test, you will need to make
arrangements to make up the test within the same week of the
absence. If you are planning on making up a test before or after
school you will need to make arrangements with me ahead of time due
to other obligations that I may have. If you have E & R, that is a
good time to make up an exam.
If you are involved in school activities that may cause you to miss
a class, remember that your homework is still due. You are
also responsible for the material that is covered. Any homework
that is assigned will be due as assigned.
OUTDOOR EDUCATION
If you are involved in Outdoor Education make sure you check the
calendar/syllabus on the web site to get the assignments BEFORE you
leave. The curriculum at this point of the school year is quite
intense, applying and integrating previously learned concepts to new
material. I strongly encourage you to learn and complete the
lessons before you leave for outdoor education to avoid getting
behind. This can be difficult, but not impossible. It will take a
commitment on your part. As much as I would like to re-teach an
entire week of lessons to you individually, time just does not allow
me to do so. If an exam is given the week you are gone, you should
plan on taking it before you leave. It would be a good idea to work
ahead and get help from a tutor, parent, sibling, or high school
student.
