Student Make-Up Work for Absences
Our District Grade Reporting Regulations allow students to make up work due to an absence. In most cases a student is given one day per day(s) absent. In other words if a student is absent on Tuesday, the missed assignment is due on Thursday. If the absence is unexcused, a grade penalty may be applied.
When requesting work due to a student absence, please allow 24 hours for the teacher to gather the work. In other words, if you call in a child's absence on Monday, the work will not be ready until Tuesday. Teachers may not stop their teaching to gather work for an absent student. Many teachers have meetings or planning scheduled during their conference period, so the soonest they can gather work is after school. Thank you!
