Can 18 year old students excuse their own absences?
• Students who are 18 years old may write absence notes for themselves only if they are emancipated, and live on their own, and have received prior approval from their guidance counselor. Additionally: • One point that is confusing to many students and parents is that teachers take attendance on the computer for each class period. If the student is marked absent to just one class period and you believe it may have been recorded in error, the student should double check with the teacher regarding that day’s attendance. • All notes must be turned in to the Main Office.
