If a student needs additional assistance, I am available before school.  I often stay after school, however it is best for a student to check with me before making arrangements to stay late.  Assignments from times of absences should be made up within a reasonable time.  If a student is absent for more than one day in a row, it is helpful for students to arrange to have assignments picked up from school so they do not get further behind.
