Regular attendance to school is necessary for students at Hampshire Regional. The average number of absences per year for a seventh grader is about four days.
Teachers believe that absences from school can cause a major disruption in academic progress.
When students return to school, they should pick up a MAKE UP WORK form from the first academic class. In all classes, students should check the board for any written assignments and check with the teachers to see if they have additional information. Students should complete all class work and homework missed. Assignments, tests, and quizzes, should generally be completed within a few days, unless the absence involved a long illness. Some teachers will allow make-up tests to be taken in class, while others will require that students come after school for the purpose of making up a test or for a help session.
