TYPES OF ABSENCES
EXCUSED ABSENCES
A strict policy is enforced regarding absences. The following are acceptable reasons for absences:
- Illness*
- Medical/Dental Appointment*
- Funeral*
- Quarantine
- Court Appearance*
- Approved school activities
*To be excused, these absences require written documentation from the medical or court facility indicating date and length of time student was at the facility.
MEDICAL ABSENCE
DOCTOR/DENTAL APPOINTMENT
All doctor/dental appointments should be scheduled after school hours if possible. If it is necessary for a student to be excused for such an appointment, a note requesting early dismissal must be presented to the teacher. A medical/dental excuse from the doctor or dentist should be returned to the school with the student. Without this note, a student's absence cannot be credited as a medically unexcused absence.
