Absences

As stated in Diocesan Policy #1360, it is the responsibility of the student to make up missed assignments. Students have the number of days missed plus one to make up and turn in missed work. Upon returning to school, the student is responsible for seeing the teacher(s) concerning missed class and home assignments. Students in the lower grades may require the assistance of their parents. Missed work not turned in by the student within the timeframe outlined above may result in zeros.  

In the event a long-term assignment is due during a prearranged excused absence, the assignment must be turned in prior to the departure or grading penalties will result. 

Additionally, teachers are unable to provide a comprehensive list of projected class and homework assignments in advance of actual classroom instruction (i.e. requested work for upcoming travel or pre-planned absences). Parents and/or guardians are ultimately responsible for providing make-up instruction for children when they are absent without excuse. Students are required to take any missed tests within two weeks of their return from an unexcused absence.

• Following an absence, students in grades 6-8 must check RenWeb/FACTS and/or Google Classroom for tests administered during the absence.

• Students are expected to attend Test Make-up on Tuesday after school and are expected to make-up tests within two weeks of returning to school. Tests and quizzes not made up will result in a grade of zero.

• It is the student’s responsibility to plan and attend Test Make-up on the Tuesday following the absence.  

• All other arrangements for Test Make-up must be made with the teacher. 

• All students who plan to attend the Tuesday Test make-up sessions should plan to stay until 4:15 PM.  

• Students need to bring homework or a book to read in case they are finished before 4:15. To prevent distractions, and to ensure teacher supervision during pickup, no student will be allowed to leave early.
