Tutorials and Retests and Make-ups

Minimize

 

.Tutorials are as needed by appointment.  Student just needs to contact me and we will work out an amenable time frame.

 

 Retests are within a specific time range after the original test.  Students should let me know if they wish to retest and we will schedule it.

 

 Make-up work (whether homework, classwork, or tests, etc.) is based on the amount of time absent.  See student handbook. 

 

 My suggestion to students:  Email a friend from class when absent to find out about assignments to avoid being overwhelmed with make-up work.

 

 Of course, students can always email me when absent for assignments at Deborah.Ponder@springbranchisd.com
