Make-up Work Students in the Middle School and High School will have 3 days to make-up work missed during an excused absence. For unexcused absences a zero will be given for any graded work given on the day(s) absent. When work is not completed during this period, the grade of zero will be assigned. At the discretion of the administration, extended or hardship absences may justify additional time being given beyond the 3 day make-up standard. Lower school students will receive all make-up work upon returning from absences.
