It is the responsibility of the student to hand in the homework and/or make up a test after being absent.

An absence due to School Business is the responsibility  of the student.  Please turn in assigned work prior to departure.  Work turned in the next day will be considered late.  If you are present at school but missing from class on a test date, it is your responsibility to check with me and make it up that very same day.
