Homework Policy
Homework for Absent Students
Absent students will receive make-up assignments for all essential practice assignments, including both homework and class assignments.
Students absent for 1 or 2 days will receive an extension of 1 to 2 days for work that was due during the absences. This work will be assessed without any deduction in grade. Students who are absent for more than 2 days will have one week to complete the work unless the teacher sets up special arrangements.
Teachers will determine the requirements for making up preparation, extension, and integrative assignments on a case by case situation.
If parents know that a student will be absent for more than a week, they should contact the office 2 weeks in advance. If the student is able to complete some work, teachers will prepare a school work package that parents can pick up during the absence. These assignments are due upon the students return to school. If the office does not receive notice 2 weeks before the absence, no assignments will be collected. Students who have an unexcused absence will not receive any make-up assignments.
