MAKE-UP POLICY

Students who miss school will have one (1) day for each day absent to make up work.  This is good up to 5 days of consecutive absences.  It is the pupil’s responsibility to find out what work he/she missed during an absence from class and to make it up as prescribed by the teacher.

REQUEST FOR HOMEWORK

Requests for homework may only be made by a parent/guardian when their child will be absent. Parents/guardians are encouraged to contact the teacher by email.  Parents/guardians may also contact the guidance department to obtain class assignments. For short-term absences students are encouraged to notify their teachers prior to the absence.  It should be noted that this is a performance-based course. Every effort will be made to provide assignments that can be done at home.
