Assignments are to be obtained prior to leaving for pre-arranged absences,
and immediately upon return for all other absences. The student should write
down exactly what needs to be done and when it is to be done. This is the
student's personal responsibility.
In general, if a student misses a test or quiz the day the absence began,
the student should expect to take the test or quiz the day of return. If a
student owes a project or report on a day when the student misses the class
due to a field trip or other school-related absence, the student should
arrange to deliver the project to the teacher, even if the student is absent
from that particular class.
Work needs to be made up in a timely fashion. Each teacher will specify
their makeup policy as part of his or her grading system. However, as a
general rule, one day of absence affords the student one day to complete
makeup work. Two days would afford two days of makeup work, and so on. This
does not mean that a student who is out four days can schedule all make-up
appointments for the fourth day back. It means the student has a total of
four days in which the student is to schedule all make-up appointments. Some
will need to be done the day of return, some the next day, and so on.
If a student has difficulty coordinating all appointments, the student is to
see their counselor or an administrator before deadlines are reached, not
after.
All students are expected to do makeup work. Failure to do so will result in
a grade of zero for missing work and may lead to loss of credit for the
entire course in accordance with the provisions under mastery learning.
Students who have approved absences will receive full credit for work
completed during the deadline set by the teacher. Work for unapproved
absences would not normally receive credit higher than a "D".
If a student cannot locate a teacher for an appointment to do makeup work,
the student should report to the office that will help to locate the teacher
and can document the student's effort.
