These skills of autonomy are critical as you begin to ready yourself for higher education. �

HOMEWORK Homework & Missed Assignments � All assignments are expected to be turned in on time. � Students who are absent are responsible for getting missed assignments, and will be given 1 week to make the work up. After a week, no credit will be given. › I suggest budding up with one or more responsible and punctual individuals to forward you any information given in class, if and when you’re absent.
