REQUEST FOR EXCUSED ABSENCE FROM SCHOOL

SCHOOL POLICY: Page 9 (FAMILY HANDBOOK 1994)
Excused Absence for Educational Trips
La Salle Academy will strictly adhere to the Public School Code of Pennsylvania and the Diocesan Board Regulations concerning excused absence for educational tours or trips.
A parental request for excused absence must be submitted to the principal for consideration at least five (5) days prior to the date of the intended trip. The request must include a statement detailing the educational value of the trip and the name of the person responsible for supervision.
A "Request for Excused Absence" form has been designed for parents to request excused absences from the school for preplanned educational tours or trips. This form will be sent to parents when the school receives notification of the intended trip.
If approved by the principal, the absence will be considered excused, subject to the student's satisfactory completion of the assignments missed.
Upon returning from the trip, it is the responsibility of the parent to make an appointment with the homeroom teacher. At this meeting, parent and teacher will outline a plan to help the student compensate for lost instructional time.
