Prearranged Absences

Download prearranged absence contract

When known in advance that a student will be absent for 5 or more days, the absence should be prearranged. Parents and guardians are asked to keep in mind that an absence from school, even though work is made up, is not advisable unless absolutely necessary and may result in a lowered grade. Instruction may not be repeated and could adversely affect a student's final grade.

Parents and students are strongly encouraged to review the school calendar, and when at all possible, schedule activities such as vacations, etc., on days that would not require missing school. When this is not possible and a student must miss 5 or more days of school::

The parents or guardians need to fill out the Prearrange absences form in 2 weeks advance of the absence and turn in to the Attendance Office.  The Prearrange absence form is available at the Attendance Office or click on the link above on this page. It will then get approval by the Admin.  Students need to communicate with teachers for any missing assignments. 

Note: An admin approval does not eliminate the need to complete missed course work.
