If you are absent, check the class calendar, website, or phone a friend. A student with an excused absence has three days in which to make up the work. Unexcused absences earn a grade of "0".
2. Tests will count 75% of the six-week grade. Quizzes will be averaged together and count as one test grade.
3. Make-up tests will be given before or after school. It is the student's responsibility to arrange a time for the make-up test within two weeks of the absence. A test not made up will be assigned a grade of "0".
4. Mathematics is a process. Do not get behind! I am available before and after school. Please let me know in advance if you need help.
