4.4.3 EXTENDED ABSENCES
Extended Absences
Please notify the principal and/or teacher in writing, in advance, if a student will be absent for an extended period of time. Students who are absent for 5 or more days in a trimester may not receive report card grades, depending on the student and situation. Family holidays should not be scheduled for school days.
Students who are chronically absent may risk an incomplete in a given subject, a requirement to take summer school, and/or being placed on probationary status. If unusual circumstances make extended or frequent absences necessary, please contact the Principal to discuss the matter. It is left to the discretion of the teacher whether to prepare advance assignments or allow students to make up missed work, but most teachers will not give work in advance. Instead, work will have to be made up when the student returns to campus.
