    Absences 
    When a student has been absent, missed work might be sent home. Please help your child complete it and return it in a timely manner. Sometimes missed work must be done at school. When a student is going to miss school for an extended period of time, advance notice is appreciated. Some of the missed work can be done before the student leaves, but some may need to be made up upon return.
