Missed assignments and worksheets are kept in a binder in class.
Vocabulary definitions will be due on Thursday and must be written in a notebook to be graded and will not be accepted late except due to an absence. The vocabulary test will be on Friday unless there is a schedule change due to a holiday, weather, etc.
