Attendance
IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to arrange for completing any makeup work. If you know IN ADVANCE you will be absent (including school activities) you must arrange to complete the work BEFORE the absence. If you have an excused absence NOT known in advance, you will have 2 days for each day absent to complete any makeup work.

Late Work
Learning to budget your time and meet deadlines is a valuable job/life skill which students will need in the real world. LATE WORK IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!!! Failing to turn in assignments is NOT an option. Assignments turned in after the due date will drop one letter grade for each day late. Once a chapter is completed and tested over, work from this chapter will not be accepted.
