Students must take responsibility for their own work and learning!
  • If students miss a class they must come and see me the next school day in order to make up missed work.
  • If students miss a test/assignment they must come with a note and be prepared to complete this on the first day back at school.  A completed late form must also be attached.
  • If students are aware that they will miss work due to absence they must make arrangements with me prior to that day as to when it will be completed.
  • Homework may be checked. If it is incomplete/absent a mark of zero will be assigned. No marks will be given for late homework.
  • 25% will be lost each school calendar day on late assignments.
