Class Attendance/Make Up Work Policy

Students are expected to come to class prepared with all materials and work
that is due that day. Students who are absent from class are responsible for
making up the material that was covered and the assignment that was given
according to the makeup work policy set by HCA. In ELA, we often read
together and discuss or play games to review our grammar focus so it is essential
to the students grade to not miss too many classes.
