TYPES OF ABSENCES
EXCUSED ABSENCES ARE FOR:
- valid illness;
- medical, dental, or optometrist appointment;
- legal or court appointment;
- attendance at funeral services;
- approved school sponsored activities.
With an excused absence, the teacher will allow the student to make up the missed work within a reasonable amount of time, equitable to the period of absence unless it was a long term pro- ject. The student is responsible for arrangements with teachers in regards to making up missed assignments, quizzes and tests. Teachers may have their assignments on Cornerstone. Each de- partment communicates its policy and procedures regarding makeup tests.
UNEXCUSED ABSENCES ARE:
- All other absences taken with permission of the par- ents, but not that of the school;
- Any absence for an acceptable reason (as listed above) in which the parents have failed to notify the school, and have not written a note for the student's attendance file. For an unexcused absence, the student will not receive full credit for missed work, quizzes or tests.
