Frequently asked questions and concerns
Will Ms. Helms hunt me down to give me missed assignments when I am absent?
No! Please come see me to pick up make up work when you have been absent. This is your responsibility. You will have 1 day per missed day to hand in make-up work.Back to Top
So what do I do if I'm absent?
Pick up homework and Warm-ups at the front of class (by the green box). Quizzes cannot be made up as we go over these in class, but I will drop the lowest two and other zeros can be corrected with "possible points".Back to Top
Absolutely! Any material that I cover in class is fair game for test and quiz questions.Back to Top
These are extra cresit points earned by class participation, good behavior, extra credit work and current events. They will go into a point bank for the 6-weeks and can be used at the end of the 6-weeks to make up points on tests, quizzes and homework grades. ***They can also be deducted for bad behavior and failure to follow the classroom rules.Back to Top
