Mental Health Days and Parent Excused Days
Students are allowed six (6) parental absences (A-E) in one school year. Five (5) of those can be Mental Health Days (M-E). After six (6) parental absences, they will be marked as unexcused unless we receive a doctor’s note.
Dr. Notes
Make sure that Doctor’s notes are being brought to the Jr High office after the appointment. That note will change that absence in Skyward from a parent excuse - AE to a doctor excuse - AD. Students are only allowed 6 AE absences in a school year, after that they will be counted as unexcused - AU.
