EXTENDED ABSENCES

​​
​The school does not concede the right to school parents to alter the school calendar for their convenience. We discourage removal of students during the school term unless it is an emergency.

Extended school absences that are not a result of medical needs and/or family emergency as strongly discouraged. Family vacations and trips are not considered valid reasons for an excused absence. Please refer to the school website, http://www.catherineofsiena.org, to view the school calendar and break/vacation schedule.​

In the event that a student will have an extended school absence, parents must provide notice in writing to the school Office. Parents may request work for the student to complete during this absence, however, this will be done at the discretion of the teacher. Teachers are not required to provide work for extended absences that are considered "unexcused" abse​nces. Students are held responsible for completing any make-up work that is assigned to them upon their return.The teacher will set the time frame for work to be done during the absence and/or upon return. Being absent for extended non-medical reasons does not release the child from tests upon return. ​
