Short Term Independent Study Contracts

Learn more about the process and start a Short-Term Study Contract.
Making Up an Absence Through Saturday School
Students can clear absences by attending Saturday School from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Breakfast and lunch are provided. Saturday School is open to all students. No sign-up or invitation is required.

Attendance is Important!
State law requires pupils to attend their assigned classes every day school is in session. Any student missing more than 30 days for any one class in a semester will not receive credit for that class. All absences not cleared by a parent / guardian phone call to the attendance office within 72 hours will be considered truant and the student will be assigned a Saturday School. The absence must be cleared for the truancy to be removed.
