Can work be made up?

Yes.
Late work can be handed in up to 5 days late with 10 points deducted each day.
Late work after the 5 days is graded only at 50% of the actual grade.

Work and tests to be made a up are expected to be address the next day after a legal absence.

Keep in mind, leaving school before your class meets or arriving to school after your class time is not considered an excuse; the work is due sometime during that part day of attendance.
