Procedures

Homework during Vacations/Planned Absences:

Teachers will make a reasonable effort to accomodate families by providing student work to students prior to the planned absence, understanding that notall assignments may be given in advance due to the pace of instruction during the absence. In addition to student work thatis provided, students may check Google Classroom / Teacher Websites for daily assignments to help keep up with theirwork while they are away. For absences less than five (5) consecutive days, students are allotted the number of days absent to turn in missing assignments that were assigned during their absence. For absences of five (5) consecutive days ormore, arrangements must be made with the child’s teacher(s) to create a schedule to complete any missed assignmentsand/or assessments. To ensure academic integrity, assessments will not be provided nor taken during a student absence. Upon return, scheduled assessments (quizzes, tests, projects) will be delayed one school day unless a student is preparedto take the assessment on that day.

Snowdays: 

If a snow day should occur, students should check their Google Classroom for assignments.  All work must be completed and turned in the next school day for credit.
