Makeup work must be complete within two days of return to school. It is up to the student to come to me to get makeup work. If it is not made up, it will result in a zero for that grade. If a student knows they will be out prior to the absence, they must get work before absence and turn it in before absence.
Any student caught cheating, including plagiarizing, will receive a 0 and a detention. Work detentions will be given when a student does not complete homework, as each student has class time to complete the work.
I am looking forward to a fun and rewarding year. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at the school at (402)645-3326, at my home (402)806-6876, or via email at
