· Check with your homework buddy when you return to get any notes and assignments you have missed. · Double-check the **// Absentee Folders //** for any notes/papers that were handed out that you did not receive.

· **// Homework //** – Turn in the previous day’s homework upon your return. Complete make-up work for the following day.

· **// Tests //** – If you are absent on a test day, you will take the test the day you return. If you are absent the day prior to a test and new information was given in class, you will take the test the following day.

· In cases of extended absences, see the teacher to make arrangements.
