What happens if I am absent or miss class?

Please check Mrs. Banks� website and/or call someone in class so that you can
make up the missed work. We can discuss appropriate due dates and expectations
depending on your individual situation. If you missed receiving a worksheet, I
will have it for you when you return to class. Remember, it is your
responsibility to come see me. I will not chase you for missed work.
