The Absence Excusal Form below is to be used ONLY by the student's parent(s)/legal guardian(s).  Students can not excuse their own absences.

Policy and Procedures

In order to increase the likelihood of academic success, it is expected that every student attend class, on time, every day. Parents and their student(s) are jointly responsible for ensuring the student’s regular attendance at school.

Excused & Unexcused Absences: Absences must be excused (by a legal guardian) within two weeks of the student returning to school. Teachers must give students at least one week to make up missed work upon the student’s return. Make-up work will not be entered into Aspire until the absence is excused. Absences not excused within two weeks must have administrator approval to be cleared. It is the responsibility of the parent to excuse and monitor attendance in Aspire.

Extended Absences: Absences between 5 and 10 consecutive days are considered “Extended Absences” which require an approved Extended Absence Form for absences to be excused. The student, parent, teachers, and counselor fill out the form; it then requires administrative approval (all prior to the absence). This form serves to notify the student of required homework and advanced notification of academic repercussions. Students missing more than ten days must have administrative approval or will be subject to withdrawal.
