What you missed in school today:
Please refer to this page at home while you are absent or immediately upon returning to school, before or during homeroom, to find out what you missed. All handouts that were passed out during class can be found in the classroom absentee bulletin board folders. It is your responsibility to check this page to find out what you missed, pick up handouts that you need on the day you return (all handouts that were passed out in class that day are listed in red), turn in work that was due on the day you were absent, and make up the work you missed in a timely manner. Remember, you have one day for each day you are absent to make up work. After that day, any missing assignments will be entered as a zero. Long term assignment due dates are not affected by absences.
