  • How long do I have to make up missed assignments?

    Posted by:

    You will have the same number of days as you were absent.

    Absent two days = two days to make up.

    Coach Van will remind you once about a missing assignment or missing grade. He will not pester or beg you to complete assignments.

    Grades become permanent after each three-week progress report and six-week report card.
