Acceptable excuses for students’ absences are illness (physician’s note required after 5 days), a death in the family, a dental or doctor appointment (statement from doctor’s office required), court appearance, a schoolsponsored event or activity that has been previously approved or religious holiday. Students may be released from school in order to participate in a religious observance upon written request of his/her parent or legal guardian. Unexcused absences are those absences that are not justified according to the rules of this policy by the parent or legal guardian.…
It has been brought to my attention that there may be an illness spreading throughout the middle schools due to a recent rise in student absences. In researching the recent absences, I’ve noticed that in 2 of the 4 middle schools, Truman and Jackson, there was an unusual spike in the absences of band students on May 20 and 21.…

If you know you're not going to be attending school for a couple of days you should call and let the Office know. Because if you didn't know after ten day of being absent without unexcused absences you can be Unenrolled from North.

Article 92 is perhaps the most important article in the entire Uniform Code of Military Justice. It lays down the ground law, which is the absolute line that may not be crossed. Everything else in the UCMJ is an explanation of the various forms that disobeying an order can take. Without the support given by Article 92, service members would be free to do whatever they want, whenever they want, and wouldn't be any more accountable than a civilian could in a civilian job.…
A flurry of day trips, sand castles and ice cream may make school a distant memory for the little people in your life. Parents, on the other hand, know that the next few weeks will pass all too quickly and it will soon be time to wave the kids off at the school gate (lumps in throat optional).…
May I ask you a question? How is it handled when Gianna missed school for an excused absence? Is she able to take a test she missed or does that count as a zero against her grade? I am only asking because she was out of town March 22nd through 30th and she missed some assignments and tests for some of her classes that adversely affected her grades. I don't know what is the protocol in regards to taking those missing tests or missing assignments.…
I am ___________, with student number ########. I am writing this correspondence to appeal to you to reconsider my academic suspension and grant me another chance to complete my Master’s in Information Technology Management. Regrettably, while attending the summer semesters, I signed up for BUSN 5600 to prepare me for the sequential MBA. During BUSN 5600 I was unable to completely comprehend accounting due to me being an IT major and accounting is not my best subject. In addition inheriting a stubborn personality from my father, I was too ashamed to ask other classmates for assistance and to admit the following phrase “I do not know how to do it”. I was completely wrong for trying to complete a course that requires extra dedication due to my background while being required to meet a 50-55 hour week schedule from my employer. Resulting in falling behind in the necessary studying criteria to successfully pass exams.…

The term “cutting classes” is the practice of missing a designated class without permission. Another slang term for avoiding class attendance is “skipping class” the official word for an intentional, unauthorized absence from class is “truancy.” Truancy is any intentional unauthorized or illegal absence from compulsory education. It is absences caused by students of their own free will, and usually does not refer to legitimate “excused” absences, such as ones related to medical conditions. Truancy is usually explicitly defined in the school’s handbook of policies and procedures. Some children whose parents claim to homeschool have also been found truant in the United States. Another term for truancy is also skipping class…
