Long-term absences to go on family vacations or business are greatly discouraged and can affect grades and promotion. If a long-term absence is absolutely necessary, arrangements should be made with the individual teachers to schedule the make-up work. Individual teachers will determine what and how make-up work can be completed and how credit and grades will be determined. Tests are to be taken within two days of returning to school and will not be given more than once. It is the responsibility of the student to study and complete all missing work by the deadline determined by each teacher. The principal will contact the attendance department of the local public school concerning cases of truancy and the local public Child Welfare authorities.
