If you are absent:
-Daily assignments, such as folder questions, will be posted on the classroom calendar at the front of the room.
-It is your responsibility to make sure that all missing work is made up.
-Projects can only be worked on in the classroom, since this is where all the supplies and materials are kept, therefore attendance is extremely important.
-Make-up work can only be done before or after school.
