6. If you’re absent: While I hope that everyone is here every day of school, I know that being absent is sometimes unavoidable. It will be your responsibility to ask for the work that was missed. Assignments will be listed on the agenda board weekly. We will copy our weekly agenda every Monday at the beginning of class.

7. Late work: Certainly, everyone always turns their work in on time, but occasionally, bad things happen. If you miss a dead line, come talk to me about when you will be getting the assignment completed. “Not doing an assignment” is not an option.
