Modifications/Accommodations
I will review students’ IEPs, 504s or ELLIDEPs and make the
appropriate modifications and accommodations.
Absent Students
My attendance policy goes as follows: if you miss a class for
a legitimate reason that is cleared from the school see me and we will work on
getting you caught up. If you know that you are going to be out in advance,
please see me in advanced so that you do not fall behind and become
overwhelmed. The student will have to try to grab as many notes from me as
needed and meet with someone from their class and compare notes. The student
must consult the teacher to get a deadline.
