- When a student is going to miss more than 5 days, come to the office to inquire about getting an independent study.
- If your student is returning to school with an injury (broken arm, leg, sprain) you will need to provide a doctor’s notice to the front office with restrictions and guidelines from the doctor. Students without a doctor’s release and restrictions will not be admitted on campus.
- If your student is out sick for five or more days, you must provide a doctor’s note.
