Pre-planned Absences
As a reminder, here is the information from the Parent/Student Handbook regarding pre-planned absences:
PRE-PLANNED ABSENCES (K-8)
It is strongly encouraged that vacations be taken during holidays. If it is necessary for a student to have a pre-planned absence, even if it is only one day, the following procedure must be followed by the family at least five days prior to the absence or the absence will be counted as unexcused.
- Obtain and complete a Pre-Planned Absence form (found on the website or available in the front office).
- Obtain the signatures of all the student’s teachers and the principal on the form.
- Return all make-up work on the day of return to avoid receiving a zero grade.
- Make up all tests and quizzes at the discretion of teachers.
- Preplanned Absence forms are sent home via the backpack once they have been approved. If the request is approved, the student (and family) is responsible for obtaining all necessary work from all teachers the day before the absence is to begin. Teachers may disapprove a request if the student’s learning and grades are at risk; therefore, if the teacher does not excuse the absence, the principal cannot intervene.

COVID reminders
Anyone who tests positive must stay at home for 5 full days before returning to school on Day 6, provided that there has been no fever for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medicines and that other symptoms are improving. (Please note that the first day of symptoms is considered Day 0.)
Siblings of positive cases may continue coming to school as long as they are not exhibiting ANY symptoms. Please use good judgment when sending siblings to school based on the amount of exposure they have had with the positive sibling.
