complete it. This inquiry should be made at an appropriate time that does not

zero is recorded for all missed work that is not made up.
Notes on
Make-up Policy:
1. Being absent a day or two before
a quiz or test is not a valid excuse to miss the quiz or test.
2. If class is missed because
of a school activity, (field trip, etc.) or if the student is in school and is
dismissed or misses class for any reason, assignments due that day in class
must be turned in that day if credit is desired. Assignments can be dropped off in Room 205 or
left in Mr. Kenney’s mailbox in the main office. The student will have five school days to
make up new work that is assigned that day.
3. Work due the day of the
absence must be turned in on the day of return at the beginning of class. If you are unsure of the work that should be
turned in, see Mr. Kenney before school on the day of return.
4. If there are “extenuating
circumstances”, see Mr. Kenney as soon as possible.
