Make-Up Work Information

Make-up Work: 

This is for excused absences only. Students may turn in assignments up to three school days per absence after the due date. After the absent due date, turned in work will follow NGHS late work policies. If a student misses a class, it is his/her responsibility to work with the teacher to makeup missed assignments, tests or other work. 

Field Trips: 

Students are considered “present” in school when on a field trip and other school-sponsored activities. Ask your teacher when clarification is needed. 

Time Required in Class: 

Attendance in class for at least one-half of the class period is required for the student to be counted “present”. 

Suspension: 

By state statute, suspensions are counted as excused absences. For suspensions of three (3) days or fewer, suspended students must submit their make-up work within two (2) days of their return to school. For suspensions of more than three (3) days, make-up work must be submitted immediately upon the student’s return to school. Failure to submit the work as outlined above will result in the grade of “zero” being recorded. It is the student’s responsibility to communicate with each teacher regarding make-up work and timely completion. 

Athletic Participation: 

The North Carolina High School Athletic Association (NCHSAA) has its own attendance requirements for student participation. All Guilford County high schools are members of NCHSAA, and their players/participants must MEET those requirements. Students are responsible for having knowledge of and meeting these requirements; coaches and athletic directors can provide complete information regarding NCHSAA regulations. 

Educational Opportunity Days: 

Students who take an approved school educational opportunity day do not have to make up time with their teacher. Other days not designated as a school educational opportunity must be made up. See administration for any issues.
