Extended	Absences 
The	administration	discourages	families	from	scheduling	vacations	during	the	school	year.	However,	family	emergencies	can	arise.	When,	for	family reasons,	parents	wish	to	take	their	children	out	of	school temporarily,	the administration and	teacher	will	discuss	with	the	parents	the	possible	effects	of such	an	absence.	All	students	will	be	responsible	for	making	up	missed	work	within	two	weeks	of	their	return.	Work	turned	in	after	two	weeks	will	be penalized.
