Make up Work
- See Table of Contents for make-up work following an absence. It is your responsibility to copy the notes from a classmate. If you miss a test or a quiz, you must schedule a make-up time the day you return to school.
- According to Arlington Community School’s make-up policy, students will have one day for each excused absence to make up work.
- Tests are scheduled in advance. If you are only absent the day prior to the scheduled test day, you will be expected to take the test.
- Late work will be accepted (1) day after it was due for half credit. Late work and make-up work must be labeled. Write ABSENT or LATE across the top of the assignment and place in the tray.
