All waivers must be submitted before 3 pm on Friday, MAY 31st..  Remember it is your responsibility to check PowerSchool or ask your 1st and 2nd block teachers about your absences. You must request a waiver if you have 7 or more absences in any current class (excused or un-excused).

 It is important to note that a waiver request does NOT guarantee that the absences will be waived.

To be eligible to receive academic credit for a course, a student must attend a minimum of 168 classes in a year-long course and 84 classes in a semester course.  Therefore, on the 7th absence in a semester course or the 13th absence in a year-long course, a student loses the opportunity to receive credit for the course.  The student shall received a grade of NCA unless the students academic average for that course is failing, in which case, the actual failing grade shall be assigned.  

This is accumulative absences it does not matter if they are excused or un-excused.

The school board policy as it relates to receiving academic credit can be found here http://www.boarddocs.com/nc/ccs/Board.nsf/goto?open&id=89LVV76E7322.#

You can check the PowerSchool Portal for absence/tardy information.

This waiver is only for your 1st and 2nd block classes (second semester) and yearlong classes.
