[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it for a school sanctioned reason or just because, like a family vacation?

Your mileage may vary if it's the latter. Technically, MCPS discourages parents from pulling kids out for nonessential reasons like family travel. So some teachers and admins might give you a harder time about it than others.[/quote]

No, they don't. Unless a kid is out for 2 entire weeks, then they can make noise and are legally allowed to dis-enroll. And even then, it's a hassle so they'd rather excuse it if you make a good case.

I've actually done this before and definitely got flack and pushback from teachers about this....so I don't know why you are definitively insisting "no, they don't" when I have personally experienced pushback from some of my kids' teachers on this.....

Also, I will second what the other PP said about teachers' not giving work in advance despite the advance notice. My experience has been that they prefer for your kid to just catch up and do the makeup work when they get back. This does require your kid to understand they will be working harder for a bit when they get back from being out and commit to that work for a few weeks until they're caught up.[/quote]
