Pre-planned and Medically Excused Absences

Parents/Guardians may excuse their student from school up to a maximum of 80 periods in one school year.

Pre Planned Absences

It is district policy that any extended planned absence is requested in advance to

allow for administrator approval. To request an absence, please submit the digital Pre Planned Absence form. Current attendance, academic status, grades, and behavioral referrals will be considered before the request is approved. You will then receive an email stating the request has been “accepted” (coded EA, parent excused in Infinite Campus) or “accepted but not recommended” (coded Truant, but parent excused/needs medical in Infinite Campus). Students are responsible for making up missed work.

Medically Excused Absences

It is recommended that a student returns with a medical excuse every time you have an appointment or visit a medical professional.
If you have an appointment or meeting with a medical professional, documentation is required in order to code the absence as medical and NOT count toward the 64 allotted parent/guardian excused hours.

If you have questions about medically excusing your student, please refer to the instruction

sheets below. Should you need further clarification on the instructions, please contact our attendance secretary, Terri Weninger at 262-970-3728.
