College Visits
Junior and Seniors are allowed two (2) school days per school year to visit colleges, universities, and/or trade schools. We encourage students to visit different campuses to figure out how life will be for them while they pursue college and career options after high school.
PROCEDURE: For the absence to be EXCUSED, the following process must be followed--it is not optional.
Students must obtain a signed letter (on college letterhead) stating the student's name and date of visit. The student must then turn in the original signed letter to their respective attendance clerk. The absence will then be coded as "college visit".
