Daily Procedures
- Be responsible for being prepared by bringing notebook and pen/pencil to class each day.
- Students need to be conscientious about completing assignments. If a student does not have an assignment completed by class, she/he has until the end of that school day to complete it and turn it into me. If that does not happen, the student will receive a zero for that assignment.
- If a student is absent, she/he should see me as soon as possible to make up missed work. Do not wait until the next class that you are here. Students are responsible for making up missed notes. I will assign a new due date for the student to complete missed work.
