Make-up work/Absent from school
If your student is absent from school, please check Google Classroom for assignments, handouts, and video tutorials. It is your responsibility to see to it that the work is completed within 48 hours upon the student's return to school. If your student is absent several days, more time will be allowed to make up work without it being considered late.
Conferences
If you have any questions or concerns about your student, please reach out to me and let me know what I can do to assist. The conference will be held with all of your student's core teachers. See the FAQ on the BIS homepage for further information.
