It is the student’s (you) responsibility to ask for missed work when you are absent
You get the number of days absent to make up missed work.
If you know you are going to be absent, tell me as soon as you know.

Proper Heading
- Name, date, period on every assignment.
Use only pencils, no pens allowed (use a pen = no grade)
Always show all work and label answers.
Answers to story problems should be written in full sentences.
Always try your hardest/partial credit is better than no credit.
