FEBRUARY BREAK

Parents and students have been inquiring how student absences during what had previously been considered the February break (February 22-25) are going to be applied against the high school's attendance policy.

Students who bring in signed documentation from a parent stating that the absences were due to previously planned family vacation plans, or school functions such as European trip or swim team trip will have the absences waived. This means they will not count against the attendance policy.

If you have any concerns about what your child will miss while away or what provisions that have been made for your child to make-up any missed work; please contact the teachers directly.

Thank you,

Charlie
