The best course of action is to come to school each day and NOT to have this problem. If you do, however miss more than 10 days, you must schedule a 90 minute study hall with me after school. I will be glad to schedule your make- up time in 90 minute increments in order to complete your "make-up" in a timely manner. Please do not request shorter time periods because I will be unable to accomodate your request. You may wish to make it up during study hall days in the cafeteria study hall. YOU must ask me to get it approved in advance with the study hall teacher. Tell me about the Early Childhood Ed. Articulation Agreement with Wake Tech. Students who take both Early Childhood Education 1 and 2 will receive college credits at Wake Technical Community College if they score 80% or higher on the VOCATS exam and submit the proper forms with their request when they enroll at the community college. They must also do receive a "B" or higher in my Early Childhood classes. What completer courses do you offer which meet graduation requirements?
