~Handbook Highlight~
PLANNED ABSENCES AND EARLY DEPARTURES
Planned absences for family vacations or extended school vacations are strongly discouraged because so much of the classroom learning experience is irreplaceable. In the event that a planned absence must be scheduled when school is in session, parents must write a note or email to the classroom teacher, school secretary, and nurse in advance of the planned absence. The teacher is not required to provide student work prior to the planned absence, however, the student is responsible for completing all missed assignments upon his/her return to school. A note or email to the classroom teacher, school secretary, and nurse is also required for planned early departures. Parents must meet their child in the school office and sign their student out. For safety reasons, no student will be permitted to wait outside.
