For extenuating circumstances--where student will be absent due to extracurricular activities, it is the responsibility of the student to request the needed work. This request for missed work must be made in advance, and it is the responsibility of the student to make arrangements with the teacher to receive assistance that is needed to understand/complete assigned work. Consideration of leave times, travel times, return times, etc…will be taken into account when assigning homework on evenings and nights of all extracurricular activities. Extracurricular events include FFA, UIL, Band, and Athletics or any other school sponsored event that students represent the school through participation. If homework assigned on the night of an extracurricular event and it is a concern of “being excessive,” contact the teacher first and the principal second, if no reasonable solution is acquired.
