Student absences from school impact student learning. Research has shown that student attendance impacts grades, achievement, and long term success in school.  As a school, we recognize that some absences are unavoidable but please make sure that your child attends school whenever possible. Please complete this form at least 10 school days in advance of any planned extended absence. 

Under law, districts can only remove a student from the roster after 15 consecutive days of absence without valid cause if either the student cannot be located or the student can be located but has been provided all available supportive services and still refuses to return to school.  This means that districts cannot remove a student because their family has taken an extended trip, for example, to visit relatives in another country.  The district's knowledge that the student is on a trip and plans to return means they do not meet the statutory qualifications to be removed.

To comply with our Board of Education policy any student that is traveling out of state or the country will be required to surrender their school issued device for the duration of their absence. The students Google account will become inactive and students will not be able to access their Oak Grove account from another device.

*If you have any questions regarding your child's academic progress, please contact their teacher(s) directly.
