| Most absences (excused or unexcused) will require that students come in before or after school to make up missed activities and lab within 2 or 3 days followed the absence |
| I will typically be available 2 mornings and 2 afternoons each week for make up sessions (specific days and times will be posted in the classroom on a weekly basis) |
