HOMEWORK POLICY/MAKE-UP POLICY
Homework is an essential part of the learning process. It is the responsibility of the student and the parent to develop patterns of study at home and the responsibility of the teacher to assign homework in a meaningful manner. A student is permitted and encouraged to make up work missed because of excused absences, unexcused absences, or temporary placement. Students will have up to five (5) school days from the date of absence to make up any missed work for excused absences. Or, within five days upon return from any excused long term absence.
