Absences & Make-up Work

All work from excused absences will be accepted according to the guidelines in the Erie High School Handbook. 

If you know in advance that you will be absent (i.e. field trips, sports, doctor appointments, etc. . .), see me about make-up work before you go.

In order to receive credit, assignments need to be handed in prior to your absence.

Personal Guidelines

*Be in your seat when the bell rings.

Once class begins, plan on staying.

*Show common courtesy to everyone.

*Be recognized before speaking.

*Show respect for others’ opinions and ideas.

*Wait until the teacher dismisses you.

You can expect from me:

My respect and concern for your ideas and abilities,

My willingness and availability to answer questions and help with class material,

A genuine interest in helping you develop effective communication and critical thinking skills.
