[quote=Anonymous]I'm the teacher PP quoted, and yes, MCPS policy states that a family trip is unexcused. There's a difference between the Official School Policy and the school policy. This is in place so that the school has recourse if a student goes to Hawaii for two weeks during final exams and the parents expect to be able to have the work made up. This is 2nd grade. The teacher will not give a student a "zero" (which we can't give anyway) on a big project for going on a family trip the day before Thanksgiving, especially if his parents check in with the teacher ahead of time and let her know. Also, OP, with the new grading system, this project can only be worth the same amount as any other assignment. Grades can't be weighted. Same advice: Tell the teacher what's going to happen, offer to have your son do his presentation early or on Monday. The teacher may even prefer to have him do it early as an example to the rest of the class.[/quote]
