[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCPS calls child services after 10 day of unexcused absence. You will have to appear in Court to defend your vacations.[/quote]

And they also no the difference between kids going on vacation who have semi decent grades and failing kids who just don't show up.[/quote]

FCPS. Middle school, to be precise. And yes, missing one day can put you behind. Plus, if my kid is sick, he's sick. Not doing "virtual attendance". [/quote]

APS middle school -- my DS will definitely be behind and see the impact on his grade if he misses more than a day or two in Intensified Algebra (which is a HS transcript class).  Homework is assigned/due daily and gets a zero if not turned in when due.  Only exception is if you are sick and turn it in the day you are back.  No passes if you are out on vacation.

We save our travel for scheduled breaks, although did let him miss one day this year, the Monday after Spring break so we could spend that day with my family in CA and fly home on Monday.[/quote]
