If you have excessive absences from school, your grades are sure to suffer. Try to start your middle school years by making an effort to come to school every day. If you must be absent, make sure to bring a note from home and give it to your homeroom teacher so that you will be excused. You will be given one day, for every day you are absent, to make up your schoolwork. If you are sick for two or more days, your parents may call your teacher’s voicemail for work. Teachers will send the homework to the front office to be picked up. Teachers require twenty-four (24) hours notice.
