Pre-Planned Absence Policy as defined in the ACA Handbook:

“The school must be notified at least one week prior to any planned absences (college visits, bereavement,
court appearances, trips, etc.) to allow the student to obtain makeup work from the teachers. Students
must submit a Planned Absence Form, located on the school website www.awakenlions.org under Student Life, and then Student Resources., at least one week prior to their absence(s). This will be reviewed by the Principal. If this form is not completed 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 the 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. Please note, planned absences still count toward the maximum 10 absences per semester. ”

Additionally, please review the following legally mandated Absence Policy:

“In accordance with the Nevada Department of Education policy, students may not miss more than ten (10)
days of school per semester. Missing more than ten (10) days per semester may result in an inability to
receive academic credit for those missed classes.”

Please note that completion of this form does not make the absence excused.
