Late Assignments/ Make-up work:

 

It is your responsibility to complete any assignments or quizzes even if you were absent. You need to make arrangements and see me for work that you never turned in or you missed. It is your responsibility to take the initiative to make-up or turn in work. Any assignments that are turned in late will always get points deducted.
