The “Keep at Home” side should be emptied daily. This helps your child stay organized.

Send a written excuse when your child returns
We will send work with a sibling, neighbor, or place in office to be picked up
According to school board policy, if a child is absent due to vacation, the absence is considered unexcused. The teachers will not prepare work ahead of time. We will, however, save all work that was missed while the student was absent. He/she will have time to complete work upon return.
