Dearest Falcon Ridge Family,

Sadly, I will not be able to continue as music teacher at Falcon Ridge. I am dealing with a personal 'new normal' with my health; my projected level of energy and stamina will not work with the demands of teaching. My job now is and will be working on my health.

I will treasure my memories of Falcon Ridge students, staff, and administration. I wish it could have been a longer ride. Thank you all so much for the encouragement and support you have shown me; you are all truly a gift.

Excused Absences

The Administration and Governing Board recognize that there are special circumstances when a student may need to participate in another event or activity rather than attend class. An absence will be considered “excused” if a parent/guardian provides a written or verbal notification for the following reasons:

• the student could not attend class because he/she is ill
• a physician’s documentation of illness medical, dental, orthodontic appointments with a verifying note from the medical office
• bereavement for a death in the family
• wedding for a member of the family
• an immediate family member involved in State Tournament competition, 4-H competition, or graduation exercise at the high school, college, and military level.
• extraordinary circumstances (requires a review and approval of FRPCS administrator.)

Family trips or vacations are NOT considered extraordinary and are unexcused. The cumulative effect of regular class attendance is critical to the learning experience that Falcon Ridge Charter School offers, which the student misses even when the absence is excused.

Unexcused Absences

Student absence for any reason not specifically listed in the excused absence section will be considered unexcused. Absences (for any reason) not verified by verbal or written communication from the parent/guardian (within 48 hours of student’s return to school) will be considered unexcused.

Just a reminder that we will continue sending weekly progress reports through the 4th Quarter to make sure you are aware of your student's current grades. Remember that you can always view your student's current grades and missing assignments through the Tyler SIS parent portal. If you have questions regarding grades or assignments, please contact your child's teacher.

Thank you,
