When+I'm+Absent,+How+Do+I+Make+Up+Work?


 * NOTE TO PARENTS: If you are able to come after-school to pick up your child's work the day of their absence, please see me to collect their missed assignments. ****

- If you are absent, you have missed important notes, activities, and homework. It is YOUR responsibility to collect the notes and complete the work. - When you return from your absence, you should turn in any homework that was collected in your absence. Next, check (with my permission) the “Keep You In the Know Folder” for work you need to make up (Think & Do-Now, Notes/Handouts, Class work, Exit Tickets, Learning Logs, etc.) - You must sign a sheet in the folder indicating that they have received your missed assignments. You can set up a time with me during Study hall or after school if you do not understand the assignments you’ve missed. You should also set up a time to make up a quiz or test if you missed one during your absence. - You will have 5 days to complete missing work after you return from your absence. After those 5 days, you are no longer allowed to make up the missing assignment, homework, test, or quiz.

 * FROM THE BLUE BOOK: **


 * - Excused Absences (unexpected): ** Students who have an excused absence for an entire day are responsible for meeting with their teachers on the day of their return to arrange for completion of make‐up work even if the class does not meet on the day of their return. If a student misses a previously assigned test or quiz, the student must be prepared to take a make‐up test/quiz on the day he/she returns regardless of whether the day of return coincides with the scheduled class meeting unless prior arrangements have been made with the teacher. Regular, advance‐scheduled tests/quizzes must be taken even if the student missed the previous class meeting (see the Attendance policy).


 * - Excused Absences (extended absences‐ three or more class meetings): ** The student must consult with each of his/her teachers and devise an appropriate plan for submitting all assigned work. The student is responsible for abiding by the agreed upon time parameters for completion of assigned work.


 * - Excused Absences (partial day): ** Students who are absent for a portion of the day are responsible for meeting with their teachers prior to departure or after arrival on that day. In this case, missed tests/quizzes must be made up on the same day as the absence from the class. Any assigned work due must be provided to the teacher regardless of late arrival or early departure. “Assigned work” is defined as but not limited to the following: papers, projects, presentations, homework, quizzes, tests, etc. Completion of make‐up or assigned work may be scheduled for after school so that it does not conflict with normal class schedules and teacher's lesson plans. It is the responsibility of the student to make up all assigned work missed while absent. This includes missing class due to athletics or any other school‐sponsored activities.


 * - Excused Absences (prearranged): ** Students who have an excused absence for an entire day because of prearranged reasons are responsible for meeting with their teachers prior to the day of their absence to arrange for completion of assigned work.


 * - Unexcused Absences: ** Teachers will not accept assignments from a student or provide make‐up tests/quizzes for a student whose absence is unexcused, and a grade of zero will be assigned.
