[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do the HSs apply these rules with excused absences/illness?  I know a one day absence is usually no big deal in terms of due dates/deadlines, but what about when a kid misses a whole week?  I hate having my sick kid worrying about getting work done and turned in remotely. [/quote]

Work missed for an excused absence can be made up in coordination with the teachers.  This is only about unexcused absences.[/quote]

Except the amount of notifications Inget about unexcused absences for my kid when they are excused for things like band, field trips, leadership experiences, etc.  Like the teachers give a list and still it shows the kids as unexcused.[/quote]

Usually, the staff member who oversees the activity, such as a band, field trips, etc., will not submit the attendance list to the attendance office until it is done or they have returned to school. That way, students who are on the list to go don't skip it and skip class without being marked absent at all. If something hasn't been adjusted by the next business day, then reach out directly to the attendance office secretary, who has all the power. [/quote]

Our school is really bad at this. Even when I reach out, it does not get adjusted. If there are actual consequences, then I will start to escalate when it’s not excised and it should be.[/quote]
