Mr. Byrd will designate a day each week for optional after school tutoring or make up work opportunities! Contact your teacher if more help is needed. Late work: Assignments are expected on the due date. After 2 days late work will not be accepted! Absent work: Students are allowed to make up all assignments that are missed when they are absent from school. Students must request missing work from each teacher the day they return to school. Students will have one day in addition to the number of days that they were absent in order to complete and turn in all missing work without penalty. (For example: If a student misses 1 day of school, they will have 2 days to complete and turn in and complete all make up work upon returning to school).
