MISC.

**If the student fails to obtain a copy of the assignment or they are absent from class, they can get it from another individual in class, they can access the Kennedy website under the homework section, or they can access Mrs. Peterman's website to copy the material they have missed. Quizzes and chapter tests that are missed will usually be given the following day during first period.  Students will also be given several projects to complete during each Health Session.  Students and parents/ guardians should remember that most times any written work that the student has completed can be used as guides when taking the lesson quizzes and/or tests. It is very important that good attendance is maintained and that the student uses their agenda to record their obligations for this class.

**All Readings and worksheets will be posted on the Kennedy Website under "Classes/Homework" and/or on this page under "READINGS.
