LONG-TERM ASSIGNMENTS AND PROJECTS

IF YOU ARE ABSENT, YOU MUST BRING A "RETURN TO CLASS" ADMIT TO CLASS THE NEXT DAY IN ORDER TO RECEIVE MAKEUP WORK. THIS SLIP DOCUMENTS AN EXCUSED ABSENCE. NO FOOD IN CLASS: Sorry guys, but because students have left food in desks, smashed food into the carpet and basically left a mess, we can no longer have food in this classroom. Eat before or after class. Thank you.
