Parental Decision Absences

tudents will not be excused from academic commitments because of early departures to or late returns from vacations or weekends, or for family vacations that do not coincide with Emma Willard vacations. Should a family decide upon an early departure or a late return, the following guidelines and consequences should be kept in mind.

• Any in-class work that is missed may not be made up. This includes tests, quizzes, or other graded work that is completed in class.
• Assigned work that is due in any class must be handed in before the absence if it is to receive credit.
• The director of academic services should be notified of the planned absence as early as possible.

 

 

The Hunter Science Center is a modern teaching facility built around the way girls learn best: through hands-on, interactive projects that encourage collaboration. The floor plan itself is revolutionary, built on the concept of a “fractal,” a scientific term meaning that the smallest element replicates the largest.
