The above assignments are the rest of the grades for this 6 weeks, that ends November 13. The last assignment will be taken on November 9. All work done November 10 - 13 will go on the 3rd 6weeks grading period.

If your student is absent, he/she is responsible for coming in outside of class to complete the work. I will post make-up times on this blog as well. I have built in an extra day for each assignment for this reason, but if extra time is needed, I will be more than willing to stay after school.
