OFFICIAL SCHOOL POLICY
A reminder of our high school attendance policy . . .
Because of the importance of maintaining the integrity of the academic day, the school does not endorse absences requested for the purpose of family convenience, outside social activities or extended vacation time. Students are expected to be in school for the entire day on the day preceding and following an official school holiday. If extraordinary circumstances require such an absence, parents must submit a written request to the office at least ten days prior to the date in question (attendance@fcspaladins.org). Pre-approved absences are granted only in exceptional circumstances. Once approved, the student will be given a form to be signed by all teachers and then returned to the office before the planned absence.
