Glenwood Educational Leave Request
Per board policy all students are required to attend at least 83% of the total number of instructional days held in the academic year. We recognize that students may be absent due to travel or educational opportunities. When considering opportunities we ask that you avoid assessment windows such as End of Grade tests (EOGs) as this may impact student progress. We ask that all leave requests be submitted at least 10 days prior to the absence.

Parents/Guardians may request these absences be excused through the completion of this form. Absences for educational opportunity may be approved for up to ten days within the school year. However, no educational leave may exceed 10 days. (Please see CHCCS Board Policy 4400 - https://boardpolicyonline.com/bl/?b=chaphill#&&hs=142675).

Family events such as weddings, reunions, etc. will not be considered excused unless there is an educational component or experience associated with the trip. We recognize that not all family events or vacations may fall under the category of an "educational opportunity" and anticipate that some students may have unexcused absences. We do not become overly concerned with these types of absences unless they are excessive in nature.

Prior approval is required for an absence to be excused for an educational opportunity that will result in the students missing days from school. Please be aware that educational absences beyond 10 days will not be excused as this severely impacts students learning.

Complete the following information and submit the form. If you have more than one child, you only need to complete one form. Please list all student names

Once the principal has reviewed the request, Crystal Jones will notify you if the absence has been excused or unexcused. If you have questions, please contact Mrs. Jones cjones@chccs.k12.nc.us or Principal Bennett at cbennett@chccs.k12.nc.us. Thank you!

I understand that I am responsible for ensuring that my child completes all missed work during this absence. I will work with the classroom teacher(s) to ensure that my child completes all make-up work.

I understand that educational leave still contributes to chronic absenteeism and that consistently missing school can have an adverse impact on a student's educational progress.
