• Students with excused absences are responsible for making up work missed during an absence. The student has a maximum of 3 days after returning from an absence to submit his/her written excuse to the office for approval and speak to his/her teacher regarding the make-up work. For grades 7 – 12, the letter grade of “0” will be given until the excuse has been approved and the assignments have been made up and/or completed. In the event the student fails to complete and submit the work within the allotted time, his/her grade will remain a 0. Students are not allowed to make-up  assignments unless the absence has been deemed excused by the administration.
  A student who is absent only on the day a test is given or for a period in which no new tested information is taught should be prepared to take that test on the day he/she returns to school.
  
  Elementary Testing Schedule: Testing will begin each morning at 7:00 AM Monday through Friday in the school library for students in grades 4-8. K-3 students, however, will be given make-up tests by their respective teacher.
  
  High School Testing Schedule: High school make-up work is generally done outside of regular class time. It is the responsibility of the student to find out what class work was missed, complete the work as soon as possible and schedule make-up sessions with teachers; otherwise, the permanent grade for the work becomes a zero. Arrangements for make-up work must be made by the student immediately upon return from absence. Exceptions may be made for extended absence by special arrangement with the teachers.
  
  Make-up tests will not be more difficult than the regular test; however, it may be a variation of the test the student did not take.
  
  Any student without a valid excuse for an absence will be given an unexcused absence and is thereby denied the right to make up any work turned in for a grade. Students who are tardy and thereby absent during a testing period and sign in later during the day must report to the teacher whose test was missed to take the test that day. A student may not avoid taking a test by coming late to school or leaving during the day.
