    Make-Up Work:

    All digital resources are posted daily to our class web page. When you are absent it is YOUR responsibility to check on missed assignments and turn in all late work. 

    Late Work:

    If you fail to turn in an assignment on time, you will only be given 3 school days to turn it in. The assignment will not be accepted after 3 school days and will be scored as a "0".  This includes homework, papers, projects, and labs.

    Communication is the Key

    My goal is to make Distance Learning as straightforward as possible. I can assist you with problems that I am aware of.  As we go along, please email me at the above address with any questions or concerns.
