5. Excused Absences
• Examples: If you are ABSENT from class for an appointment, sickness, etc…
• It is YOUR responsibility to check what you missed, what I collected, & what is due – see the website for the homework that you missed or any assignment sheets handed out during the lesson.

• Assignments that are due the day you missed should be turned in during the next class period that you attend.
