  • Can I request classwork/assignments if my child is absent from school?

    Posted by:

    We do not provide school work for students who are on vacation. If your child is sick for three consecutive days, please call the office before 9:00 a.m. on the third day to request homework. Teachers will prepare work during the day and leave it at the office to be picked up after 2:45.  If a request is made later in the day, the work may not be ready until the following day. We highly suggest that parents use Aspen to check homework for students who are absent less than three days.
