Printer Buddy

After the first few weeks of school, we will ask you to get a printer buddy. Ask a reliable classmate for their phone number and email address. If you have printer trouble, you can call and ask if you can email them a copy of your document to print. You can return the favor when your printer is working again. This is only a last resort: when your printer isn't working, be sure to tell your parents so they can get it fixed.

If you are absent, you MUST:

1. Download a Missing Assignments Form. See the link at the top of the page.

2. If it is a planned absence, you must bring the form around to all of your teachers before the absence so you will know what you will be missing and the due dates for missed assignments. If it is an unplanned absence, please take the form around to all of your teachers immediately upon your return to school. You may do this before or after class, before or after school, or during your breaks or work times.

Your teacher may ask you to:

1. look at the Class Page,
2. check individual subject pages to see what you have missed,
3. and copy notes by hand from a classmate (or two) as soon as (or before!) you return.

It is your responsibility to figure out what work you have missed, and to schedule time with your teachers to take missed quizzes and tests. For unplanned absences you have two days for every day you have missed to complete work (there may be some exceptions). For planned absences, you need to speak with your teachers before you leave or you may forfeit the right to make up any missed work.
