Make-Up WorkAbsences: During a child's absence, requests for make-up schoolwork must be received before 9:30 a.m. for same day requests. All efforts will be made to make this work available to you by 3:30 p.m.. For most 1 day absences, work can be made up in school.
Absences due to vacations/trips: Make-up work will be provided after the child returns to school. Work assigned after a trip more accurately reflects the assignments and lessons that occurred during the absence.
