What if a student is absent?

Students who are absent are expected to collect their missed work 
from the
organizer in the back of the room.  Mrs. Mather can not get the 
assignments
for a student at any time directly before, during or after class, 
but she 
will gladly help a student in getting assignments during 
homeroom, lunch or
directly after school.  There is no penalty for late work due to 
an absence 
assuming the work is made up within one week of the student's 
return.
