If you plan to be gone during class time for whatever reason you will still need to find time to prepare for school news or finish the assignments/bell ringers that are due. You will need to get a slip from the HS office for me to fill out. Please note: assignment extensions are only permitted if you talk about it with the teacher ahead of time. (not the day before or the day of). If you were gone due to illness on a day that an assignment is due, you will have until the following day to turn it in unless the teacher states otherwise. If you are sick for your group's school news you MUST contact me ASAP so we can find a replacement.
