· ABSENCES/MAKE-UP WORK

o When a student has an excused absence the student has the same number of days to make up missed assessments and assignments as days the student is absent.  If the student does not make up any missed work in a timely manner, their grade will automatically turn into a zero. 

o Any missed assignments or material can be obtained by e-mailing the teacher or another student, calling another student in the class, asking the teacher the very day the student returns (before or after school), or checking the website.

· HOMEWORK

o Students will have homework assignments almost every night.  Homework will be due the next day.  Completed homework will receive 2 points, attempted homework (poorly completed homework) will receive 1 point, no homework will receive 0 points.  (Students are still expected to complete their homework even if it is not posted on the website.)

· FOOD

o Food will not be allowed in the classroom unless it is used for the purposes of the lesson.
