Parents have the right to excuse their child from school prior to the end date of June 1, 2018. If the front office is notified, the parent will be instructed of our policy related to Independent Study contracts and the PUSD Attendance policy.
Independent Study contracts and Pre-Approvals of Absences will not be approved if the student will not return before the official last day of school.
Any parent/student request for a student to complete a missed assignment and/or assessment is at the discretion of the classroom teacher. Please note the following:
Teachers can (if they choose), provide classwork/assignments to be completed and submitted prior to the student's exit date
Teachers can determine whether or not they will allow students to take assessments prior to the student's exit date
Teachers decide what assignment and assessment grades are used to determine the final grade for the semester.
