"senioritis"-- is two hours late considered absent for the whole day?

At most MCPS schools, absences don't matter, particularly if excused with a note. Schools are trying to take attendance more seriously, and I keep expecting something (an email home, a request for doc note) but nothing so far. If you are excusing her medically, I think that's the worst that would happen-- requesting a doctor's note on absences going forward or something like that. (Nothing retroactive.)

Hey mom, are you going to approve her absences at work too? Maybe she needs to focus on the root of her problems - change diet, don't use devices at night, get a sleep study, etc.

DP, so not "mom" but Senioritis is as old as time, the child is 18 or on the cusp, and it is unlikely to be a medical issue.
