Absences for school related activities will not count toward a student’s total. All other absences will qualify towards the total.
Students that have extended absences will be required to complete their Semester Tests (prior to leaving or immediately upon returning). This is to include but not limited to: placements outside of the district, extended vacations, or withdrawal from school followed by re-enrollment.
