Valid Absences include illness, bereavement or family emergency.
Authorized Absences include dentist or doctor appointments, driver’s test, and court appearances.
Excused Absences refer to field trips and school sanctioned events. Students are still considered to be at school.
Extended Absences of three days or more require the completion of a “Special Leave” form at least one week in advance of the leave. This form may be obtained from the Main Office. A parent/guardian signature is required. It is the student’s responsibility to catch up on all work missed. Do not plan absences or family vacations during culminating and exam periods as the evaluations cannot be rescheduled.
For safety reasons, students who have signed out must leave the building as they will not be directly supervised.
