FAQs
We expect you to attend as many live class connect sessions as you can, and make two-way contact with your teachers during the week! If you want to see our entire attendance policy, check out the link at the bottom of the newsletter.
How can I excuse my absences?
If you are going to miss 5 or more days, your Learning Coach should send an email to attendance@k12insightwa.org. If you are going to miss less than 5 days during the week, do not worry about getting them excused. Students will only earn unexcused absences if they miss 5 or more days.
I'm in Running Start and can't make it to my class connects. What can I do to avoid unexcused absences?
We understand that balancing your running start schedule and ISWA schedule can sometimes be impossible. That's why we are happy to work with you on this! If you are a running start student and you make two-way contact with a teacher every week, we will excuse any absences you earn due to class conflicts. If you do not make contact during the week, we cannot excuse your absences.
What is two-way contact?
Two-way contact is any conversation a student has with a teacher about their academics. This includes attending live class connect sessions and Monthly Progress Conferences. This can also include an email conversation between a student and a teacher about their progress or questions they have about their assignments.
Who do I contact if my student is sick and cannot attend?
If your student is too sick to attend school for 4 days or less, please keep in contact with their teachers and come up with a plan for catching up. You do not need to notify the attendance department. If your student cannot attend school for 5 days or more due to their illness, please send a doctors note or similar documentation to the attendance department to be excused for that week.
