Students with an excused absence (must be cleared within 48 hours) have as many days to make up work as they were absent. Students who have been absent may pick up handouts from the "make-up folder" in the classroom and obtain notes from a classmate. Some assignments and notes are availabe by clicking on the highlighted links below. Students with an unexcused absence are encouraged to make up work missed; however, these students will not receive credit for make-up work, per school district policy.
