This packet is intended to be used by families to request excused absences for preplanned, out-of-state trips during the school year.  In order for the absence to be excused, a family must follow through with all the required steps and complete the required forms.  If pre approval is given, but the rest of the process is not followed, the absences will not be excused. 

This process only needs to be completed if your child WILL NOT be live streaming their regular classes.

Pre-Approval 

• Submit this initial approval form at least two weeks prior to trip.

After Approval

During Travel

• (Optional) Students should keep a daily journal about what was done and learned each day on the trip so they are prepared to make a presentation when they return.  

After Travel
