Make-up work:
- Make-up work is YOUR responsibility! You need to take the initiative to find out what you missed. Check with a classmate, assignment board, website or Miss Pryda to find out what assignments you missed.
- If you are absent on the day of a test/quiz you will make it up the day you return.
- If you are absent on a review day you have the option of taking the test/quiz on the day you return or the very next day.
- You have as many days as you were absent to make up any work.
Student Success:
- Do not wait to get help!!! I am available periods and before/after school.
- The following topics will be covered: measurement, analyzing & graphing data, atomic structure & the Periodic table, metric conversions, chemical reactions & equations, solutions, radioactivity, forces & motion, fluid pressure, waves & sound, and light & lenses.
Website:
- The following is a link to my school website. It can also be accessed thru the High School page,
by clicking on staff and then finding my name. The website has class information as well as homework and notes! It is the best way to check on what you’ve missed if you have been absent.
