Graduation 9am on March 11, 2016

Since graduation is now on a school day and school age siblings may attend please complete and Educational Enhancement form prior to the date for it to be excused.  My understanding is that all schools in our system uses the same form.  Once the principal approves it goes to Mr. Lawson at Central Office for approval.  This must be done before the date.  Please turn into the school office ASAP.



EDUCATIONAL ENHANCEMENT OPPORTUNITY REQUEST FORMS

To request an absence to attend or participate in an educational activity, please complete this application form and return it to your school principal at least five (5) days prior to the absence.   Such an absence requested by this signed application and approved by the school principal and the Dir. of Pupil Personnel, will be considered an excused absence.   The major intent of the activity must be educational in order for the student to be granted his type of absence.   The proposed activity must have significant educational value and be composed of an intensive program related to the core curriculum (e.g. Art programs, State Fair activities, workshops that are educational in nature, college visits, etc).  

The principal will use his/her judgment to determine if the activity meets the guidelines.   A student may be approved for up to ten (10) days of absence per year for this purpose.   Students who are granted an absence under this law will be allowed to make up all school work.   This type of absence cannot occur during the school’s CATS Testing or District-Wide assessments, unless there are extenuating circumstances that are approved by the principal and Dir. of Pupil Personnel.  Decisions may be appealed to the Superintendent and then to the Board of Education.
