Geometry and Algebra II homework will often be graded without being turned in. A positive attitude and a smile are also good assets. Make up work must be submitted to instructional staff within the equal number of days absent, plus one. Before or after an absence, students should make a point of checking for handouts, lecture notes, etc . Please bring such parental notes indicating excuse, preferably beforehand.
Homework is due upon return to class, unless otherwise arranged.
Make-up tests will occur the day of return to school, unless otherwise prearranged. Students who were absent are expected to participate in the grading of homework they may not yet have completed. Grading time is learning time. For freshmen and sophomores, much of the lecture may be blended into the grading. To maintain a consistently fast pace, tests are generally returned the next class period and students who were absent will either be taking the test or those with extreme grades might go over the test.
