1.   Check the tray for any worksheets or in-class work you missed.
2.   You have one day for every day of absence to make-up your work.  For example, if you missed Monday, you would pick up your work on Tuesday and it would be due on Wednesday.
3.    Any quiz or test/project/presentation that is missed must be made up as soon as possible after your return.  Quizzes or tests must be made up before or after school.
4.    Each student will have a “study buddy” from class.  If a student is absent, his or her “study buddy” will copy assignments, take classroom notes, pick-up handouts, and call the absent student with information about what was missed.  If you are absent and your “study buddy” does not call you, you should contact him or her.  It is easy to get behind and feel lost and frustrated in a foreign language class when you are absent.  Having a “study buddy” to help explain what went on while you were absent will relieve some of the frustration you may feel due to missing class.
