Extended Absence Form
In the September 20 and October 4 editions of the Lance I had shared our procedure of what to do if family travel is going to occur during days when school is in session. I'd like to take this time to reiterate that if your child has travel plans, it is required that they obtain an Extended Absence Request from the office and have it filled out and returned 5 days in advance of the first day of their absence. This provides time for staff to prepare work if necessary and for communication to take place if required. I appreciate your understanding and cooperation regarding this matter.
The absence form can now be found on on our Parent page of the Middle School website in the "For Parents" section.
