PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Parents and Guardians,
We continue to focus on improving our student attendance rate at school. Our school district has established policies that address attendance and make-up work. The complete policy can be found on the Delta County School District website: www.deltaschools.com, and here is a summary of the policy:
Make-up work shall be provided for any class in which a student has an excused absence unless otherwise determined by the building administrator or unless the absence is due to the student’s expulsion from school. It is the responsibility of the student to pick up any make-up assignments permitted on the day returning to class. There shall be 2 days allowed for make-up work for each day of absence unless the12-day attendance improvement plan states differently. In cases where an assignment is given with a due date of 4 days or more in advance, and the student has been properly communicated to about the date due, it is the responsibility of the student to get the assignment in on time. If the assignment is not turned in on attendance time, the class policy for late work may be enforced. If there is a test or quiz scheduled four days in advance and the student is absent on the day of the test, they will be responsible to complete the test or quiz upon returning to class.
The majority of our class assignments in grades 6-8 are posted on Google Classroom several days before they are due. Our teacher’s refer to their classes’ Google Classroom daily, and it is helpful if parents/guardians remind students to check their Google Classroom on a regular basis. In cases where assignments/tests are posted in advance, it is the responsibility of the student to turn material in on time, and be prepared to take the test upon their return to school.
Thank you for your continued support in keeping students on track with school attendance and work completion. This is one of the most important aspects of school success!
