Approved absences may include events such as extracurricular activities, family commitments, or other special circumstances. While we understand that these occasions sometimes arise, we strongly encourage families to schedule them outside of regular school days whenever possible. Family vacations should be planned during school breaks. Student trips or activities that do not involve parents will not be considered excused. Please note that pre-approved absences will not be granted during the first two weeks of the school year or the final two weeks of each semester.
