Absences and Make-Up Work

The importance of good attendance in this course cannot be stressed enough. Each lesson in this class builds on the previous lesson. When absent, it is the student’s responsibility to ask about missed work on the day they return to school. Because computer work cannot be completed at home, students will need to work during homeroom/break time or arrange a time after school to complete assignments. These arrangements should be made the day the student returns from school.

Supplies: Folder with pockets, pencil, paper
