At Socrates Preparatory School, we realize there can occasionally be family functions or other social obligations which may arise outside of the time off scheduled in the school calendar. If such an obligation arises, the parents/guardians must provide a written notification to Socrates Preparatory School when the student is going to be absent for more than two (2) days in a row. It is then at the discretion of the principal to determine if the absence will be deemed excused or unexcused. Multiple factors may be considered in determining if the absence is excused including, but not limited to:
- Reason for the absence
- Length of time off requested
- Overall academic performance of the student
- Anticipated impact of missed class time on the student
- Amount of time already missed in the quarter or semester
- Assignments, testing, etc. which will be missed
Scheduled absences (even if deemed excused) have a negative impact on a student’s educational experience and should be avoided whenever possible. As with other absences, any missed work must be completed either before the missed days or upon return to school.
