Pre-Planned Absence Policy as defined in the ACA Handbook:
“The school must be notified at least one week prior to any planned absences (trips, family vacations, etc to allow the student to obtain makeup work from the teachers. Students must submit a Planned Absence Form, approved by the principal, at least one week prior to their absence(s This form is available in the school office. If this form is not complete and approved before the student’s departure any work missed during the student’s absence may not be given credit. It is the student’s responsibility to make up all work missed. If planned absences cause the student to exceed the absence restriction, the school administration reserves the right to review such instances on a case-by-case basis.”
Additionally, please review the following legally mandated Absence Policy:
“Ten (10) absences are allowed each semester (due to block scheduling - that would only allow 5 blue days and 5 gold days per semester); After ten absences, the student may not receive credit for the course.”
Please note that completion of this form does not make the absence excused.
