wow, why wont the teacher give you the oppoortunity? thats dumb.
take a deep breath. go to each teacher and tell them this, that you do not intend to fail and dont want to go to summer school. tell them you will try your hardest and even come in for extra help if necessary. if they dont then go to your counsler, principal or anyone like that and tell them this.
hopefully you have a ligitmate reason for missing school and they will give you the oppurtunity. try your best!
and dont listen to the other people, thats mean of them. focus on your work, get back to schedule and take it one step at a time.

Ouch. I can sympathise; I missed a lot of school due to chronic illness over the past several years and ended up doing most of my courses at home, so I'm no stranger to missing chunks of time (and being made fun of).
First off, I think you need to really talk to your teachers. At lunch or after school, ask if there is some time when you could have a few minutes of his/her time. Then, stick to whatever time you decide on. Explain the situation clearly. Express your desire to fix it, and be willing to work your butt off (if you're not, then there's no point to any of this). I think most teachers will see that you're sincere if you take the time to approach them outside of class. It shows that you take it seriously.
If that doesn't work, consider talking to the administration; they might be able to help you out. School guidance counsellors are a safe bet too.
As for people making fun of you, well, there's not a whole lot you can do. If you think they're joking, tell them that it hurts. It might give them more fodder, but it also might help. If they're doing it because they want to hurt you, try not to let them know it's getting to you. And remember--it's a reflection on them and not on yourself. You know that you had legitimate reasons to miss school.
Take care of yourself. Treat yourself well. That's hugely important when things around you are all going wrong. If you can treat yourself just a little better than usual, it makes things easier to deal with.
I hope things start looking up soon.
