As we move through the year, we will have students absent, sometimes for up to 14 days. If all parents are calling the office to request make up work from you, it may become overwhelming. Therefore, sending a common message to families that school work can be accessed digitally through Google Classrooms & an overview on the Assignment Portal will help families know where to get assignments & hopefully, elevate some emails for you.

Below is a draft, created with input from some teachers, of make up assignment communication.

How Can We Get Make-up Work during an Absence?

• Google Classroom: For lesson materials & individual assignments, visit each teacher’s Google Classroom.

• Assignment Portal: For an overview of classwork & assignments, visit the "Assignment Portal" for your child's team & teachers.

• After visiting Google Classrooms and the "Assignment Portal,” email the teacher if there are questions about specific assignments.

• In rare cases, to participate in learning, students need physical materials, such as watercolors for art, a new book for Literature & Composition, needle and thread for Family & Consumer Science, etc. In those rare cases, teachers will email families regarding materials pick up.

When is make-up work due after an absence?

• In general, students are allowed the number of days of their absence, not to exceed 5 school days.

• If students are feeling up to it, they need to work on assignments during their absence.
