How do you make up work?

Students need to check with me about makeups and when they are due.  A make 
up folder will be available for each class. A deadline will be announced 
before reporting periods.  A notebook will have the assigments written in it 
each day.  ***MAKEUP WORK CAN ONLY BE DONE IF ABSENT.

How can I help at home?

Check for assignments in the assignment book, check web page daily, and have 
another student's phone number for clarification on lessons.  Help go over 
skills for quizzes/test.
