their return to school, the student may need to stay after school to make-up any missed work upon their return.
Make-up Work Due to an Excused Absence from School Students are responsible for work they missed on the date of an absence. It is the student’ s responsibility to contact the teacher to discuss missed assignments and make arrangements to make-up missed work. Teachers will not be expected to reteach the lessons associated with the missed work. If a student has excused absences for an extended period of time( three( 3) days or more) the teacher, in consultation with the parent and / or school counselor, shall determine an appropriate and reasonable time period for the completion of make-up work. Teachers will make every reasonable effort to help students make-up missed work. Failure to complete make-up work due to an absence has been found to be a leading factor to student’ s earning poor grades. Make-up work is not permitted for skipped classes or if the student is truant from school. If a student arrives late to school, he / she is still expected to turn in any homework / assessments / projects / essays / research papers / etc. that were due on that day( Even if they missed the class). This also applies for students who are going to miss class due to an early dismissal.
