All Warm-ups must be completed if the student wants Warm-up Points, even if they are absent. Any Warm-up missing ANY information will NOT receive points for that day. Warm-ups are an all-or-nothing assignment. All Warm-ups are completed together during class, so there isn't any reason a student shouldn't receive full points.
