Only homework that is late due to absences will be accepted.


    Quizzes and Tests –     Quizzes will be given as needed, and tests will be given at the end of a chapter. DO NOT wait until the day of the test or the day before to ask questions. It is not enough time!

    • The student must show the teacher all completed make-up work to receive credit.
    • If the student returns to school on a test/quiz day but had prior knowledge of the test/quiz, the student will be required to take the test/quiz.
