What is the procedure for prior-arranged absences?
If you know in advance your child will miss a day or more of school, please send a note with your child to the office. The office staff will provide your child with a form that needs to be signed by all teachers the day PRIOR to the absence. The form then needs to be returned to the CMS office for attendance data entry. Although unexcused, the prior arranged absence does not apply toward truancy.
