Make Up Policy: 
Becoming responsible is part of the growing process, therefore, students are responsible for any/all missed work. He/she is to check the blog and make arrangements for turning in missed assignments. They can also check with me/us and other students in that class as well. All tests and quizzes are made up before homeroom (8:15 am) by prior arrangement. It is the student’s responsibility to see the teacher to schedule an appointment and get a pass that allows the student access to the 6A Hall.
