Good Shepherd School STRONGLY encourages parents NOT to take family vacations while school is in session. We feel it is very difficult for a student to miss extended days of school and still keep up with studies. Although written work can be made up, the value of time spent in class cannot be recovered.

Please do not expect the teacher to have a week of work AHEAD OF TIME. The teacher may be able to give some assignments ahead of time, but the student must realize that he/she will have work to make up when he/she returns. Any work given before the vacation is due the day the student returns. Any work given before the vacation is due the day the student returns.  Tests that will be missed must be made up at a time that meets the discretion of individual teachers. Projects due during the time away must be submitted at the discretion of individual teachers. Failure to turn in completed work will result in the lowering of a number grade for each day the work is late. Any exception may be at the discretion of the teacher.
