Excused Absence Information

Children between the ages of 5 and 18 must attend school — it's the law. But there are times when an absence is unavoidable.

In Maryland, an absence is considered excused once the parent or guardian provides a note explaining that it was due to one of these reasons:

  • Death in the immediate family (a parent note is acceptable)

  • Illness (a parent note is acceptable for an illness up to three days; a doctor's note is required for illnesses lasting longer than three days)

  • Court summons (the student's name must appear on the summons)

  • Hazardous weather conditions (a parent note is acceptable)

  • Observance of a religious holiday (a parent note is acceptable)

Please email the Attendance Liaison any documentation for absence.
