Late work due to absences:

Assignments that are not turned in due to illness will be recorded in Power School as a zero with a comment that the student was absent. This is to remind both the student and myself that there is work to be made up. The grade will be entered upon completion/submission. If the work is completed within the amount of time specified by the homework policy, no late penalty will be assessed.
