I hope you are all enjoying your weekend, and the St. Anne's Festival. It has come to my attention that there have been many absences in the past couple of weeks of school. It is understandable that illnesses and extenuating circumstances may hinder students from attending school, but I wanted to stress the importance of maintaining a regular attendance. When students miss class they miss lessons, activities, and important classroom discussions.
Many of the students that have missed school have not made an active attempt to find out what lessons, activities, quizzes, and assignments they have missed.
It is imperative that students understand that it is their responsibility to find out what they missed when they were absent, borrow notes from a fellow student on the lessons, make up the missing assignment/activity, and to turn it in. This is an important part of being a responsible student/learner; which, students and parents agreed to work towards when they signed the Achieving Excellence contract.
Students who do not make up missing assignments/quizzes after their absences will have a point deducted for each day it is late. A date must be set to make-up missed quizzes/tests the day the absent student returns to school. I will no longer seek out students for make-up assignments or quizzes/tests.
Thank you, and have a great weekend,
Mrs. Moussa
