Makeup work and Re-test
If you are absent one day, it is your job to find out what you missed. I do not have notes of my own that I can hand you. If you ask me what you missed, I will give you a brief overview, but you are expected to get any missed notes from a classmate. If you miss the day before the test and you knew about the test and had all your notes prior to missing a day, you are expected to take the test on the scheduled test day. If you miss the day of the test, you will be given three days to set a make-up test time with me. If we schedule a day and you do not show up or thee days pass, you will receive a zero in the grade book for that assignment. At the end of the grading period I will remind you of any missed grades and your can make up this work on your time for partial credit. Retests are not required, but are available per student or parent request and at my discretion. Retests must be completed on your time (ie: break, lunch, after school.)
