Make-Up and Late Work Policy
2022-2023
MAKE-UP WORK WHEN ABSENT
Make-up work must be completed within one school day following a one day absence unless other
arrangements are made with the teacher or school administrator. If a student has been absent two (2)
days, or if it is known that a student will be absent at least two (2) days (illness, hospitalization, etc.), a
parent may request missed assignments by calling 634-5515. Please allow 24 hours for the assignments
to be returned to the secretary in the elementary or secondary office. The parent must pick up the
assignments in the office as specified by the secretary. If the student needs books or notebooks, that
request should be given to the secretary at the time of the original request for assignments. Failure to
pick up requested assignments may result in the loss of the privilege of making such requests in the
future. It is the responsibility of the student to complete and submit the assignments prior to requesting
additional assignments from the classroom teacher. Students participating in any school-sponsored event
will not be counted absent on the day of the event, but students will receive make-up work opportunities.
Students may not participate in school activities on a day they are counted absent. PCA is registered with
Angelina County Justice of the Peace Court for truancy cases. (PCA Parent-Student Handbook, pg 7)
