Attendance

We can no longer accept “parent request” as an excuse for an absence.  The following are the only reasons for excused absences.

• Participation in a school or district approved activity
• Illness, health condition, or medical appointment -a doctor ‘s note will be required
• Family emergency, death or serious illness in the family
• Religious or cultural observance of a religious holiday or participation in religious or cultural instruction
• Court or judicial proceeding
• Absence directly related to the student’s homeless status
• Absence related to military deployment activities of a parent or legal guardian who is an active duty member
• Absence resulting from a disciplinary action
• Principal (or designee) and parent, guardian, or emancipated youth mutually agreed upon approved activity provided that such excused absences shall not be permitted if deemed to cause a serious adverse effect upon the student educational progress consistent with RCW 28A.225.01

Please contact your school principal if you have any questions.
