Absence Policy

What to Do When You're Absent

• Check the Class Agenda to see what you missed on the day you were absent. Go to Google Classroom to retrieve the assignment. If the assignment was a handout, it's your responsibility to pick up your copy of the work when you return.

• Do not email or send messages through Google Classroom to notify me of absent work.

• Do complete this Assignment Notification Form to ensure that absent work is recorded correctly.

Absent But on Campus

• If you will be absent due to a school activity, it is your responsibility to ask for permission before missing class and to make arrangements ahead of time. The only exception is if your teacher has sent out a class list notifying me that your entire class will be gone.

• If you are on campus and will miss my class, you must check in with me at the beginning of your class period before going to the school activity unless you are gone all day on a class field trip. 

Deadline Extensions

• 1-2 days of absence = 2 extra days

• 3-4 days of absence = 4 extra days

• 5 days or more = discuss with Ms. Chen 

If you were in class on the day the work was assigned, you are expected to turn in your work on time.

Special Circumstances

As always, if you are experiencing extenuating circumstances (e.g. recovering from a difficult illness or physical injury, dealing with a family emergency, etc.), then reach out to me and we will create a plan to make sure you succeed.
