Parent/Student Handbook
Reminders:
Absences and Homework
Students who are absent due to illness have
one day for each day of absence to make up the missed assignments,
quizzes or tests. For example, a student who was absent three days would
be given three school days to complete the missed work. For short
absences of two days or less, students should make arrangements with
classmates or check teachers’ websites regarding assignments. For
absences greater than two days, student work may be requested from the
teacher and picked up in the school office. Students may also receive
missed assignments from their teacher when they return to school.
Arrangements for regularly scheduled classroom tests missed because of
an excused absence are to be made with the individual teachers (e.g.
weekly spelling and vocabulary tests). Parents and students are welcome
and encouraged to meet with their teacher by appointment to clarify any
curriculum missed during an excused absence.
