Important:
Your child is
responsible for making up work missed during an absence(s) due to a family
trip. The child will have an equal number
of school days to complete make-up work as days missed due to your trip. For example, if a child misses three school
days for the trip, he/she will have three school days to make up the missed
work. Teachers are required to allow
students to make up this work without penalty.
Parents/Guardians are responsible for helping the child attain
concepts that may have been taught during the days missed. Teachers are not required to prepare homework
for your child prior to your trip. A
large amount of what happens at the elementary level is instruction and
learning experiences occurring in the classroom. It is impossible to “make-up” this lost time
in instruction and experience.
