  IF A STUDENT IS ABSENT: THEY MUST COME TO ME TO ASK WHAT THEY'VE MISSED AND THEY HAVE 2 DAYS FROM THEIR RETURN TO MAKE IT UP.
HOMEWORK: Just because you didn't do it doesn't mean it isn't due ...you get a "missing"

CHECK DATES FOR
CURRENT WEEK
Scroll down. I often work a week ahead,
so "this" week is not always at the top. Daily assignments may change due to time contraints.

The Odyssey: if a student is absent,
they are responsible for keeping up on
