Attendance Matters: Vacation Requires Pre-Approval

We know family trips are important, and we're always glad when families get to spend that time together! To help your student stay on track, we ask that vacations be planned around the school calendar whenever possible so they don't miss valuable classroom time.

If a trip during the school year cannot be avoided, reach out to your campus attendance contact in advance with the dates and a brief note on how your student will keep up with schoolwork while they're away. This helps us mark the absence as approved and makes sure your student can jump right back in with classmates when they return.

One important note: Without advance approval, vacation days will be marked unexcused. Thanks for partnering with us to help your student stay on track!
