[quote=Anonymous]I think individual schools have some ability to code unexcused vs excused. For example, my child had a special event organized by an extracurricular - think a special performance on an instrument for a big event at the Kennedy Center. The organization gave all parents a letter asking for an excused absence for the dress rehearsal, which caused an entire missed day. I sent it in, positive it would be coded as unexcused (since it didn't fit within their current very narrow framework of what is excused) and surprise, it was listed as an excused absence. And if I had a sick family member and needed to pull my child out of school to visit that family member, I would not hesitate to send in a note saying please excuse absence due to illness. [/quote]
