Homework Policy for Vacations Saint Matthew School understands that sometimes taking

children out of school for a family vacation is unavoida-

ble. However, please be aware that teachers are not required

to give your child school work to take with them on a vaca-

tion. It is hard for teachers to plan ahead of time what exactly

will be taught. According to the handbook (page 6): “ Staff

members are not required to prepare assignments ahead of

time for a vacation. If a child is absent to vacation for 3 or

more days, the child will have 48 hours to complete all assign-

ments. Large assignments are still expected to be completed

on the date due.”
