What is my policy on make-up work when your child is absent?
When your child returns from school after being absent, I will give them the work that they missed. They will have three days to complete the assignments. If you know your child will be out for a few days and would like their make-up work, please let me know. I will gather together what I can so they can work on it. I will still give them three days after returning to give me the assignments. If your child is out sick, I know that they may not be able to complete everything before returning.I also stress to my students that it is their responsibility to complete their make-up work and return it to me. If a new skill was covered while they were absent, I will work with them and get them caught up.Back to Top
