I have kids who easily miss 50 days of school every year (unexcused) and they always pass.

Does your child have a medical diagnosis? It sounds like a 504 would be beneficial. That is an absurd amount of days for a child without health issues.

No. My kid is on track to have even more absences than this because he gets sick every other week. But he still has straight As so there is no reason to repeat the grade.

No, FCPS rarely holds kids back anymore; and if they do, they need parent permission. (Teacher)

+1

OP did not say that the student is receiving homebound services. They've just missed 20% of school. Poor kid.

Basically your kid is missing a week of school every month. What is going on?

No but if there is a medical issue you might need to get a 504.

Oh please. There’s nothing taught in 35 days of 6th grade that parents can’t easily cover at home in half that time.


Why do you assume that op is teaching?

I’m sorry your kid is so ill to miss that much school

I think this is a question to ask the school. Consecutive absences are different than ones that are separate
