** For example: Marc is absent on a Monday, therefore his work for Monday is due on Wednesday of that week. If Marc is absent on Tuesday and Wednesday of the same week, and returns to school on Thursday, Tuesday's work is due on Thursday and Wednesday's work is due on Friday.
***There are exceptions made at times for this
I highly encourage parents to "pick-up" their child's assignments if they are absent, or let the office know if the assignments are to be sent home with a sibling. Homework will be available for pick-up by 3:00 PM. However, I do understand that some illnesses do not allow students to complete any or all of their work. Exceptions are also made for this. After the two day period, the assignment becomes late, unless arranged otherwise.
Homework should always be brought to school even if it is not completed, or even if the student has been absent. Please do not let your child leave the unfinished work at home. I usually have the student use recesses to complete their work and I am available to help them.
If you know that your child will be missing school ahead of time for an appointment, vacation. etc., PLEASE send a note to notify me so I can give them their work ahead of time. If a student is absent because of a reason other than illness, the same procedure is followed as in "B" above.
