If a student is absent from class because of a field trip, an athletic event, and/or school business:
· it is the responsibility of the student to tell the teacher ahead of the time of the event (as soon as he/she is aware of the date/time)
· there will be no penalty for missed work, missed assignments, or missed tests if completed as arranged
· if the student does not speak to the teacher in advance, there is no obligation on the part of the teacher to accommodate the situation.
It is the teacher's discretion regarding what should be done with respect to the missed work or assessment.
