Absence	with	Acceptable	Excuse 
When	a	student	has	been	absent,	a	written	excuse	signed	by	the parent	or	guardian	is	required; and	the	excuses	are	kept	on	file	for	a	period	of	one	year. An	acceptable	excuse	includes	illness,	attendance	at	medical	or	dental	appointments,	funeral	services	for	family	members,	quarantine	directed	by	County or	City	Officials, or	emergency	or	special	circumstances	as	determined	by	the	school	authorities.	Excessive	unexcused	absences	may	result	in	loss	of academic	credit. Students	will	have	the	same	amount	of	school	days	they	were	absent	to	make	up	their	missed	work	without	any penalties.
