I was sick this week and couldn’t even get out of bed. I tried going to school on Monday but only made it to first period after I had to go home cause everyone told me I looked horrible. Anyways by doctors orders I was told not to go to school this week. Next week I’ll be gone Monday and Tuesday and I come back Wednesday from a trip to Spain. Now you could imagine, I’ll be tired by then to go to school on Wednesday. My parents told me I should just not go Thursday or Friday either so they have time to talk to my counselor and teachers but I really can’t wait to go back. Now there is one problem, how do I catch up after missing 1 week and half of school let alone with 4 AP’s? I am taking AP Chemistry, which I missed lecture on everyday since I have third period everyday and a test which is on Monday. AP Physics which I only missed two days this week and I will miss one day next week and a test on Wednesday, the day I come back. AP US History which I missed 3 days of and 3 chapters of reading notes and 2 big assignments. And finally AP Computer Science, which I can only catch up in school since I don’t have the programming software installed on my computer. I also missed my math class but I’m pretty sure I can catch up on this since to me it’s fairly easy. What do I do?
Talk to your guidance counsler immediately. ALso check in your student handbook about how much time you have to make up the work…it our school it says:
Students who miss one to five consecutive days must make up missed
class work within five school days. Students who miss more than five
consecutive days are allowed one day to make up missed work for each
day they were absent. For example, a student who returns to school
after missing seven consecutive school days will be allowed the next
seven consecutive school days to make up missed assignments/tests.
Then coordinate with each teacher on what is expected.
Try to do some homework this week, on the plane, at the airport, during down time, etc.
