Upon returning to school, a student must present a note signed by a parent, guardian or physician. This must include the student’ s name, date( s) and reason for absence.

According to Board of Education policy, excused absences include illness, approved religious holidays and / or death in the family. Students who are excused will be able to make up assignments and exams.
