Absences Check the blog! A copy of notes will be provided for missed days. Getting additional notes from another student is

encouraged. The student is allowed as many days to make up work

as the length of the excused absence, including making up tests.

If a student is absent on the test day only, he or she is expected to take that test upon returning to school.

Absences

Don’t forget to send excuse notes to the attendance office!
