- Emergency conditions as determined by the Principal or Superintendent
- Permission of Principal and consent of parent
Any reason not listed above is considered ‘unexcused’ – such as car trouble, family emergency, personal, or travel.
When a student returns, the parent must provide in writing within three (3) days of the student’s return to school an excuse which includes the following:
