District policy regarding student absences:
The following are some general guidelines for your information regarding acquiring homework when your child is not in attendance (whether it be due to illness or vacation). Unusual cases are handled on an individual basis.
When a child is absent due to illness for 3 or more days we will provide homework as appropriate after the third day of absence. Generally, it takes one (1) day to prepare the homework
District policy also requires that advance homework is not provided for extended voluntary absences or family trips/vacations.
