Homeschoolers take vacations! That's one of the perks of homeschooling. Families who play together stay together. Homeschoolers also get sick and have family situations. I make an effort to help students stay on top of assignments when they miss class. Assignments and resources are emailed to families. Read my deadline policy.
A heads up on a scheduled absence is always appreciated as if gives me time to prepare the resources for home study.
