Prearranged Absences
Students may pick up a prearranged form from the Attendance Office for absences of more than one day that will be occurring at least 48 hours later. The student must either have a note signed by a parent or have a parent sign the form. The student delivers the form to the front office to be signed by an Assistant Principal. Next the teachers sign the form. Finally, the completed form needs to be returned to the Attendance Office to be entered into the attendance records. Once again, a minimum of 48 hours is needed to complete this process and should only be done for absences longer than one day.
