Homework Requests

During this cold and flu season there is already an increase in the number of requests for homework.  

The following steps will help answer questions about homework requests during the 2009-2010 flu season.  There are a few changes from the information published in the parent handbook.

1. Wait until your child has been absent for three days before requesting work.  
2. A student has as many days to make up homework as they are out absent.
3. Please e-mail homework requests to your child’s teacher.  Links to teacher e-mail addresses are on the East Woods web site.  Select “Teacher” and click on the teacher’s name.  An e-mail for that teacher will open.
4. Due to the increase in requests and teacher absences, allow the teacher a full day to prepare the homework (request on Tuesday, homework ready for pick-up the end of the day Wednesday)
5. If the school/teacher is notified in advance of a trip or vacation reasonable efforts will be made to prepare a general list of assignments for the student to complete while absent.
