What to Do if Your Student is Ill |
If your student is ill or has to quarantine, Madison will work with you to support learning at home. Here’s how you can help your student:
-
Email Madison’s attendance office as well as your child’s teachers to let them know about the absence.
- Encourage your child to know and use the systems teachers have in place for sharing assignments and lessons, such as Schoology and OneNote.
- Encourage your child to email teachers if they need help.
- Encourage your child to check The Source at least weekly and to complete missing assignments.
- If your child is too ill to work during their absence, we will work with you to create a catch-up plan.
