All Classes--Procedure for Making Up Work When You Are Absent
When you are absent, consider the following points:
1. Ask peers about the work that you missed. All students are required to write the agenda and the objectives for each lesson in their notebooks every day. Therefore, you will certainly find at least three reliable scholars who can inform you of the work that you missed. Be sure to copy the agenda, the objectives, and the word of the day activity for the day that you missed as well. Use your smart phone to take a picture of the notes, then copy the notes into your own notebook.
2. If you are unsuccessful getting the information from a peer, you can always see me before or after school.
3. Of course, you can avoid having to consult a peer or me after the fact (upon your return to school) if you simply text, call, or use other vehicles of communicating (I know many of you post assignments on your Facebook pages) to follow up on missing work. In this way, you will be able to prevent yourself from falling behind in your classwork, instead of waiting until you return to school.
4. During class or the change of periods is not the time to ask me about missing assignments.
5. According to school board policy, you have two days to make up work for classes, provided your absence was excused. Make-up assessments can be completed after school in AEP on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Ask your fourth period teacher if you may leave your class five minutes early on one of those days so that you can see me before the bell rings (I often have meetings immediately after school). When you come to me on those days, be sure you know exactly what you need to make up. It is your responsibility to keep track of the specifics for each assignment--title, date, etc.
6. Lastly, always check this website to keep current on pending assignments.
