Unlawful Absences

[Anonymous]

Really?

I'm sure there are some parents who have abused this to go on trips, but this has gotten ridiculous. So now we're giving zero grades for unlawful absences?

I'm taking a day off to go to out of town [guardian]to support my father. My mom recently passed and me and my sister are alternating every other month to keep my father company and support him.

I hate that my son will have to swallow a zero on a test day (Friday) to support my father's emotional health.

By the way, the upcoming months, I'm scheduling around and school holidays.

Just write a vague note and send it in. "Please excuse XXX from school on XX date." My child's school accepts that and asks no questions. They don't need a doctors note or anything.

Or write "Medical Issue". They don't need to know it isn't the child's medical issue. "Please excuse XX from school on XX date for a medical issue"

This also works at my daughter's school. No questions asked.
