Assignments, due dates etc

  basket on their due date.

  original due date. However! I will NOT give you a
  new handout. There are always a few extras in the
  missing work folders but once those run out, you
  are out of luck.
• If you stay organized and keep up with your work
  this should never be a problem for you ?
• EXCUSED absences are an exception and I will talk
  with you and your parents individually about make
  up work

  work from the days you were absent. Missing work
  is kept in folders (labeled by day) at the front

  assignment. Talk to me BEFORE the due date and
  time.
