What if I am absent? If you're absent from class, you can refer to the weekly agenda below to learn what topics and assignments you may have missed. You are responsible for meeting with me when you return to school to pick up necessary hand outs or assignments.
What do I have to complete for homework? If you do not complete an assignment or activity in class (and there is not time already designated for its completion), it should be completed at home or in tutorials. Periodically, homework will be assigned and will be noted in class and on this website. Students should review notes in preparation for tests days in advance and should note information they would like to review with the teacher either in class or during tutorial.
