Absences
If a child is absent due to brief illness, please notify the front office! The student will receive their work when they return to school, and it will be due in the same amount of time they were absent (ie: if your child is absent for two days, they will have two days to return all work completed).
Extended absences should be avoided entirely, but if they become absolutely necessary, please contact the office for possible independent study. Your child must not be in danger of failing any subject in order to have independent study absences
You may request a work packet from me in advance if you know your child will be absent for a few days, but please let me know in advance so that I may prepare all of the materials. Without this notice, I may not be able to provide a packet to you in advance, and your child will be expected to make up the work when they return!

Leaving Early
If your child is pulled out of class for an appointment at the end of the day, they will be responsible for making up missed work that same evening as additional homework so they don’t fall behind! I cannot stress enough how important it is to avoid pulling your child out of school frequently. While I do understand that mid-day doctor appointments are sometimes unavoidable, please try to schedule all appointments on the same day if at all possible so your child is not missing the end of the school day regularly.
Test Make-Ups & Missing Work Due to Absence
If a student misses a test due to an absence they must make it up in my classroom at lunch on the Wednesday directly following their absence.
Missed class assignments will be put into an “Absent” file on their desk to be completed as homework by the following day (more time will be allowed for a longer absence period). Late work may be subject to a loss of overall points earned. Incomplete class assignments must be made up during Wednesday at lunch if necessary, but is left to the responsibility of the student.
