AttendanceTherefore, you need to be here each and

everyday.

If you do not have an excused absence, I do not have to accept your work.

If you are absent, it is your responsibility to find out the work you missed.

The best ways are to check PowerSchool AND

My website, mrsclement-reddington.com to print off the work.

Remember, in order to graduate, you need to earn credits, and this course is worth one credit.

WorkHomework and Classwork are to be turned into

the appropriate bins on the table.

Make sure you check that your name is on your work!

Homework and Classwork has due dates, if you turn work in after the due date, you will lose points.

Check Power School daily to see what work you owe and when assignments are due.
