Students should plan on making up all class work and assignments missed during an absence. A student is given one day/evening for each day absent plus one additional day/evening in order to make up missed assignments. We request that students be absent three days before a parent requests assignments from teachers through the office. Parents should pick up assignments from the main office 24 hours after they have been requested. On the first and second days of an absence, please check teacher Edmodo pages to get assignments for the day.
