Life Happens!

LIFE HAPPENS! If you are having issues at school or at home, have a huge exam coming up for Science, or realized you need more time to complete your absolute best work for any other reason, e-mail me and request an extension. You must come talk to me or e-mail me the day before for the extension to be granted. You cannot come in 5 minutes before class without your assignment and expect an extension.
