Absences If absent, students have 3 days to send a written note stating the reason they were absent. If a note is not received, it will become an unexcused absence. A phone call is wonderful, but must be accompanied by a written note per state guidelines.

Absences When a student is absent they have the number of days they are absent plus one to return all make up work. If absent Monday – Due on Thursday If work is sent home before the absence, it is due the day they return. If they missed a test, they must make it up the day they come back while at school.
