A student shall be given the opportunity to make up work within two class meeting days per absence upon their return. Excused Absence work will receive full credit. Unexcused absence work will receive full credit, up to 5 days per semester. Out of school suspension is considered an unexcused absence.However, the make-up work must be made up within two days of the unexcused absence occurred. Also,
the make-up rule does not apply when the work was assigned prior to the student’s absence. In suchcases the test(s), project(s), etc. must be turned in immediately to the teacher when the student
arrives on campus unless an extension of the time has been approved by the teacher or the principal due to extenuating circumstances.
