Use this form for a single day's planned absence only. Example - college tour on a Friday. Must be submitted no later than 3 school days before the scheduled absence. Forms submitted after the 3 days will NOT be accepted, and the absences will remain unexcused.

Use this form for two or more days' planned absence only. *Students may not have four or more unexcused absences when making a pre-arranged absence request. The request will be denied.

Pre-arranged absence forms require pre-approval from the Administrator of Attendance submitted seven (7) school days PRIOR to the date of your planned absence. Students who request to be absent for two (2) or more days outside the scope of an “Educational Trip” must provide a one-page double-spaced typed essay within five (5) school days of their return to school.

Failure to submit the request seven (7) school days in advance will require an essay before the trip to excuse the absence. Official college visits do not require an essay. However, documentation of the appointment and confirmation of the student’s attendance at the college tour/visit is required when the student returns. 

Submission of the pre-arranged absence form, the required essay, and/or the appropriate college visit documentation, after the deadlines outlined above, will result in the absences being finalized as unexcused.

Students with off-campus passes may sign themselves out to drive to their own MD or DMD appointments with parent permission using this form. Only NOTARIZED forms will be accepted and must remain on file in the attendance office.
