Make-up work is defined as any assignment or test, which was assigned when a student was not present in class due to an excused absence or early dismissal. Students and parents should remember that much of the instruction a student misses when absent (such as lecture notes, class discussion, teacher explanation, and the opportunity to learn from class participation) cannot be made up. The following are the policies and procedures concerning make-up work:

• It is solely the student's responsibility to request make-up work and test from the teacher within two days of their return to school. Arrangements will be made at the teacher's discretion.

• For advance notice absences (field trips, school activities on or off campus, etc.), the student must request the make-up work BEFORE the absence occurs and return to class with all work completed.
