When an absence is EXCUSED
- Students will have the chance to make up all assignments missed and receive credit.
- Work must be made up within one week from the date of the student's return to school.
Any work not submitted within the week will result in "no credit."
- Upon return, students are expected to be prepared for class if they have a single day
absence. Previously announced tests and assignments will be administered unless the teacher feels that the student's success would be seriously jeopardized by the single day absence.
