- Illness of an immediate family member when the student’s presence at home is necessary;
- Emergency situations that require the student’s absence;
- Field trips and school-approved activities;
- Other reason deemed appropriate by the school administrator when satisfactory arrangements have been made in advance of the absence;
- Medical (dental) appointments. Confirmation of appointments may be required.
Each school shall notify parents/guardians by the end of the school day if their child has an unplanned absence. The notification will be either in person, by telephone or another method identified in writing by the parent/guardian. If the parent/guardian cannot be notified by the above methods, a message shall be left, if possible.
No student is to be permitted to leave school or be sent on an errand from school during school hours without first securing permission from the appropriate attendance officials and/or administrator.
