Late Work Policy

1. Students are required to complete missed work due to absences from school. Students

will be given one (1) day for each day absent to make-up work (example- if a student is

absent 2 days, he/she will have 2 days to make up work). Upon parental notification, the

guidance office will request assignments within 24 hours for those students absent three

(3) or more days.

2. Students are required to complete missed work due to suspensions from school.

Students must submit completed work to the appropriate teacher on the day they return

to school. Students in in-school suspension are responsible to complete all assigned work

and hand in to the appropriate teacher.

3. Students absent from school/classes due to field trips/school activities are required to

obtain assignments and complete missed work by the following school day, unless other

arrangements have been made with their teacher(s).

4. Students who lose credit due to cuts or excessive absences must remain in the class and

fulfill all class requirements in order to be eligible for attendance at summer school.

5. Students sent home by the school nurse or who sign will receive an absence in each class missed.
