Educational Opportunities
Educational Experiences
We recognize that students may be absent due to travel opportunities or other educational experiences. Parents may request that these absences be excused. Absences may be approved for five days for travel within the US and up to eight days for international travel.
Family events such as weddings, reunions, etc. will not be considered excused unless there is an educational component or experience associated with the trip. We recognize that not all family events or vacations may fall under the category of "educational opportunity" and anticipate that some students may have unexcused absences. We do not become overly concerned with these types of absences unless they are excessive in nature.
If you believe the experiences in which your child would be involved out of school would qualify as an educational, please complete the following form. (If you have more than one child, you only need to complete one form. Please list all student names). Contact the data manager to see if the absence is excused. If you have questions, please contact Principal McDowell. Thank you!
Additionally, each grade level has prepared a packet of required activities for students to complete while they are away from school. The absence will be considered unexcused until this packet it submitted to the child's teacher. You can find each of those linked below.
