• Communication Requirements : Absence, Dropping, Leaving

    Regular attendance is very important for your learning.  Please don’t miss more than one or two classes without communication.  Don’t just disappear.

    COMMUNICATE with the teacher or school. If there is any difficulty, email me, please let me know - communicate! lbraley@fremont.k12.ca.us
