policy for absences and grades

Weekly and daily work will be updated weekly (bell ringers, participation, and quizzes). Please
check grades regularly and feel free to ask me any questions that you might have about a
particular grade.

If you are absent, you are responsible for completing your make-up work (one day for make-up for
each day absent).
All make-up work will be placed in your classes absent folder and your name will be written on any
work you missed. It is your responsibility to ask a classmate or me for help on making up any
interactive notebook assignments (you can always borrow my notebook), and/or to meet with Mrs.
Arnold to make up any tests, quizzes or papers.

If you know you are going to be absent beforehand, you should ask me for your make-up work
before the absence. This can be done before or after school or via e-mail.

homework
Students should read 20-30 minutes every night. No reading logs will be collected, but Mrs. Arnold
will collect information at the beginning of the year to meet the interests and needs of individual
students’ reading lives.

Most work will be able to be completed in class if students use their time wisely. The exception to
this would be typed essays. Some work may need to be done outside of classes to finish writing
and/or typing final paper.

If students do not complete work during class, in the time allotted, it will be assigned as homework
so students can adhere to the determined deadlines.
