Absence - Planned

To make arrangements for a planned absence, the student and parent/ guardians must notify the Pony Center secretary and the student’s teachers (via email) of the dates and the reason for the upcoming planned absence.  One week prior notice is recommended.  Students should initiate discussion with each teacher regarding assignments, activities, tests, etc. that will be missed and create a plan for completion of all requirements.  Students are expected to make up instructional work before school, after school, or during the class for which the work is required.  Students will not be excused for time missed in a class while making up work for another class.  

It is the student’s responsibility to complete required activities, classroom assignments, tests and quizzes within two (2) school days for each day absent unless other arrangements are made with individual teachers. 

Students should consult the teacher’s Schoology page for assignments in the event of any absence.  The school cannot “excuse” a student from missed opportunities to learn or perform tasks which constitute a learning project.  Teachers will not be expected to offer extraordinary sessions explaining work that will be missed when a student is absent for reasons other than illness.
