What if I am absent?
Check my TeacherWeb site, I will have a link to my PowerPoints and other class materials. Check the "While you Were Out" board in class and get the handouts from the file that is marked with your class period ( I will also write your name on it). Check with a friend if you still have questions or come see me before or after class. I will not chase you down.Back to Top
What if I miss a test?
Tests are given on Tuesdays or Thursdays. If you are absent, test make-up days are Tuesday mornings in room 325 and Thursday afternoons in the library. You must let me know ahead of time when you are going to make up a test so I can get a copy to the teacher holding tutorials. I am also available before and after school most days. Just let me know ahead of time.Back to Top
