Classroom Attendance

Attending class on a daily basis is crucial to your success in learning a foreign language. Oral activities are done on a daily basis and are very difficult to make up after the fact. Students who miss multiple classes will need to set up a meeting with Mrs. Cornish to develop a plan of action for making up missed work.
