Good attendance is critical for success in school. All absences will be coded unexcused unless a valid/lawful email or a written note from the parent/guardian is received within two days. Tardies and early dismissals both are reflected on the report card as tardies. State law allows absences to be excused for the following reasons:

• Illness or injury

• Quarantine

• Death in the immediate family(obituary or program needed) 

• Medical or dental appointments (doctor note required)

• Court or administrative proceedings (documentation required)

• Religious observance (up to two each academic year)

• Educational opportunity - Your request must be submitted for consideration at least two weeks prior to absence. An explanation of the trip/opportunity must be given.

This form must be completed and submitted to the principal two weeks prior to the absence in order for the absences to be considered as valid/lawful. No student will be excused for more than the five (5) school days per school year. Approval for such an absence(s), however, must be granted prior to the absence(s).
