If you are absent you have an opportunity to make up the work.  When you return you should get your assignments from the make-up folder.  If you are absent on the day of a test, you are expected to take the test on the day that you return.   I keep a copy of any notes taken and activities completed in the make-up folder and you are responsible for getting the work completed in a timely manner.
