Excused Absences

Absences are excused only if they are due to any of the following circumstances:

• Illness, including Mental Health
• A written excuse from a doctor is required for absences exceeding 3 days in a row.
• Imminent Doctor’s appointment
• We urge parents/guardians to schedule doctor appointments outside of school hours whenever possible.
  • A written doctor’s excuse is required.
• Approved academic appointment
• Tragedy in the family
• Religious observation
• Dire unforeseen circumstances
  

If the absence is excused, any participation grade scheduled on the excused absence day will be forgiven. However, students will be responsible for completing assigned work and abiding by deadlines set for all academic work on those days.
