What are good reasons to be absent?
1. You are sick. 2. Someone in your family died or is VERY sick. 3. You had to be in court or at a government office. 4. You had to go to mosque, temple, synagogue, or church for a religious holiday. Check with the attendance office before you are absent if you aren’t sure (Mexican Independence Day, Cinco de Mayo, and other national holidays from your old country DO NOT count). 5. You had to go to the doctor or dentist. 6. The weather makes it too dangerous to go to school, but if the school bus goes by, you had better get to school!
