  8. Attendance Policy (cont’d) It is very important for your child to come to class on time and report to school every day. Each day your child is tardy or absent disrupts their learning and presents a challenge for them to “catch up”. When a student is absent, it is his/her responsibility to request any missed assignments from the teacher upon returning to school. It is also his/her responsibility to turn in made up assignments to the teacher. Please provide a note of the absence on the day your child returns to school.
