If you are absent, you are still responsible for the work done that day. If you are absent and an assignment is due that day, you will have additional time to complete that work without a reduction in grade. You will get one make up day for each day missed to complete work without it being counted late. If you miss many days, please contact me directly to work on a plan for making up missed assignments.
If you makeup an assignment after the assignment has been put in the gradbook - you will need to fill out a missing assignments sheet and turn into Mrs. Eichhorn
My plan is to have the grade book updated in a timely manner. My goal is to always have it updated on a weekly basis, but please understand there are times with this may not be feasible. I have also set a goal to enter late work grades into the grade book on Fridays.
Email is the best way to contact me. I will check it multiple times throughout the day. I may not be able to reply immediately if I am teaching, but I strive to have messages returned within one business day.
