MAKE-UP WORK/ABSENCES

​

Absences & Homework

Absences do not release students from any work. Generally, one day is given to return work for each day's absence. Weekend days will be counted when completing this work. Parents are responsible for picking up student's work on days when a student is absent. Teachers may set due dates for absentee work. Students are responsible for getting the missing assignments and turning work into the teacher. Students need to take the initiative for homework.  

Make-up assessments will be given at a time set by the teacher. Make-up tests may be given in a different format. If test dates were given prior to absence, students will be expected to take tests as scheduled or as designated by the teacher.  

Be aware that some work done in class cannot be done at home or after the fact, especially group work; therefore, some work may not be given grades.  

Long term absences require special arrangements with teachers. The school does not concede the right to school parents to alter the school calendar for their convenience. Teachers are not required to give work to students to take on a vacation during the school year. Teachers are not expected to give private instruction for work missed due to vacations taken or by commercial-work absences. Being absent for extended non-medical reasons does not release the child from tests upon return. ​

Note: The school and its teachers reserve the right to make changes to the Homework program, as needed.
