Current Events Make-ups

 

 

Current events articles can be used to make up class points that would be deducted from their grade for all excused absences (i.e. home sick, Dr. appointment, meeting with guidance/social worker, suspensions, or medical excuses).  Students may complete ONE current events worksheet per absence.  The completed article worksheet is worth 4 points.  This information is located here on the left side of the the page under Make-ups.
