The writing lab is open each morning before school and during each lunch shift. With advanced discussion, it will be open some afternoons after school.
Help
I am available for free help from 7:00a.m. to 8:30a.m. each day and some days after school.
Make-Up
Find out what you miss before school, not during class. Most make-ups will be done before school only. Some exceptions will be taken care of after school. Fill out make-up sheets to schedule appointments for make-ups.
