Absences with Acceptable Excuse
Excused absences include illness, medical or dental appointments, funeral services for family members, quarantine directed by city or county officials, or emergencies or special circumstances as determined by the school.
Medical Appointments
Early dismissal or late arrival for medical or dental appointments shall be granted when the parents/guardians make a request. Parents/guardians shall be urged to keep such requests to a minimum and encouraged to make arrangements for care during vacation periods or after school hours. Parents must provide official documentation from the doctor or dentist.
If parents/guardians wish to temporarily take their child out of school for family reasons, the principal and teacher will discuss with the parents/guardians the possible effects of such an absence.
