Absences

Me – I do have 5 children of my own (6 months, 2, 5, 7, & 9); there is a good possibility that I will be absent at some point during the year. In the event that I am not here, that does not constitute a free day for you. We have a lot of content to cover, and I expect you to complete any lesson that I may leave with a substitute teacher. I have high expectations for all my students when I am in the classroom, and when I have to be out. All assignments not completed during my class time, will be given to the students as homework to complete on their time.

You – I understand that there may be days that you are not here. Please note that just because you are not here, it doesn’t mean that our world stops; we will continue with our scheduled lesson…even in your absence. Please don’t ask me, “Mrs. Whaley, did I miss anything?” You should know that anytime you are out of the classroom, you have missed something. Instead, you should ask, “What did I miss?” This should be done before or after class, not while I am teaching. I will not baby you; if you missed my class, you better come get your work or it will be marked a zero. My teacher page will be a great place to keep up with your assignments.
