* If a student is absent or misses class for band, chorus, etc, arrangements are to be made with the teacher (by the student) to hand in any missed assignments. They are responsible for making up missed work. If your child is absent for multiple days, please call the school to arrange to pick up the missed or get it sent home with someone else. This way your child will not fall too far behind and get stressed.
