[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have a child in public school who will be attending the NCSA/ISCA/spring zone meets do you have any tips in working with the school to not have these days be marked as unexcused absences or penalized for missing in class work? This is for a 7th grader who otherwise attends in person if it matters. I want to be upfront with the school and am hoping the end result would be to allow virtual asynchronous for a week. Thanks![/quote]

Club swim meets aren't worth missing school for. [/quote]

“Club” swim meets?? Do you know absolutely nothing about swimming? This question is about Junior Nationals, a national level meet. Would you say the same of Olympic Trials? What meets are worth missing school in your opinion?

OP, qualifying is a huge deal and she should absolutely go. My swimmer is still young but has missed school for big championships, NCSA, etc. I know it’s harder to miss in high school, but this type of meet is a big deal and attending is a must if she has any interest in swimming in college. Congratulations to her and good luck. [/quote]
