If your child misses a class, they have the opportunity to attend flex learning time and teacher office hours to make up the live lesson that they missed. The flex learning and teacher office hours must take place within 7 days of the absence. If this happens, the teacher will go back and mark the student present for the class that they missed. If the child is absent and unable to participate in flex learning and/or teacher office hours, then you will submit an absence note for your child's absence. All absence notes are being submitted via the form located on our website.
