How does my student make up work when they are absent?

Upon returning to class, students must see the absentee folder to get missing work, fill in their table of contents, and complete work on OWN time.  If a student has  questions please and/or speak to the teacher after school.  Tutoring and make-ups are available by appointment at lunch.

When can my student make up a lab?

Most labs can be made-up after school or at lunch. Some labs are  difficult to make-up due to the nature of the experiment. In this case students will need to get data from their lab partner to complete the assignment. All analysis and conclusion should be completed by the individual and NOT COPIED. Data is any measurements, group observations, etc. Data is NOT calculations, original ideas or thoughts, analysis or conclusions.
