I will try to have makeup work ready and waiting in the office by 1:30 p.m. That follows my plan period and gives me time to get it ready plus see what we all get to in the morning.
Rotation teachers may wait to get their work to them
All work will be in a folder and the student should turn all work back in in the folder at once.
Folder can be worked on at school and at home. Please make sure if they take it home they bring it back even if they do not finish so they can do in free time here.
