It is the student's responsibility, not the Instructor's to determine and complete work missed due to any absence from class.
1. See me as soon as possible. (locker room or cafeteria). 2. Check with classmates for notes, and handouts. 3. All missed work is required to be made up within one or two health classes after your return. Make-up work should take precedence over other activities.
* These guidelines are reviewed and students are given a copy at the beginning of each marking period.
