Regular HW available for anyone who needs it - 
For Math students have a workbook that they can take pages out of to take home for lessons that need more work if they don't get it during class or if they miss due to absence.

For Science, if students fall behind on their classwork they can catch up at home (if students do not have access to a computer at home, ask Mr. Gonzalez for an alternative
 activity or assignment). If students want to access the practice quizzes and games on Google Classroom at home, they can work on those as well.
