What is the attendance policy?

Students are required to log 1,080 hours of attendance during a complete school year; this equates to an average of 30 hours per week.

Can I take a vacation during the school year?

The school calendar includes school "holidays" or vacation time. If a student skips a day during the week, he or she will be marked absent, and must make up the time at a later date. When possible, vacation days should align with the academic calendar. Vacation time not a part of the academic calendar must be approved by a teacher and should not interfere with state testing and required assessments.

Parents can apply for "Educational Leaves of Absence" during the school year. Requests must be submitted to the Head of School 10 days prior to the absence. Leave will be approved based upon consistent student progress and attendance. No educational leave will be granted in any of the testing windows for state mandated testing.
