When the absence is anticipated, the students are to contact their faculty members beforehand. Students may expect to have an extension equivalent to the length of the absence to complete assignments. Following the extension period, student work will be subject to the typical late work policy. Students in level 6 (MYP 1) are also expected to take responsibility for completing any missed work following an absence. Promoting good communication habits with guides and establishing time management and organization skills support student success.2.

Students will need to contact each faculty member to get assignments and plan times for any make-up quizzes, tests, or presentations. If a student does not make prior arrangements with a guide, all work missed for that class receive a score of zero.
