  • We have brand new materials to work with in science this year.  It is important to keep these materials in excellent condition. 

Make-Up Work

 

  

  • Call the homework hotline for assignments.
  • Check with me for any worksheets or materials you may have missed.
  • You have two (2) days for each day you missed to make up your work.
  • If the absence is school related then the work is due when you return.
  • Please write make-up work on the top of your paper and turn it into the drawer labeled “ABSENT”.
  • Labs, tests, and quizzes must be made up within one week of the student’s absence.  This can be done after school or during the teacher’s prep period.

. . . and above all, ENJOY!
