Independent Study
SHORT TERM INDEPENDENT STUDY FOR PRE-DETERMINED ABSENCES
A parent/caregiver must request an independent study in advance of the student's absence:
- 1-9 day independent study contract: Shall give notice at least three to five days in advance
- 10-15 day independent study contract: Shall request and contact principal five to ten days in advance
As a packet of work can never completely replace the learning that occurs in the classroom, we strongly encourage students and families to limit independent study requests to one per school year. However, if your family's circumstances necessitate more than one independent study contract within the same school year, you are welcome to request more than one provided you do not exceed 15 days for the year.
To request an Independent Study contract, please submit a filled-out request form to your student's school office.
SHORT TERM INDEPENDENT STUDY FOR MEDICAL ILLNESS ABSENCES
A parent/caregiver should request an independent study contract:
- If your student has a medical illness requiring your student to be absent three days or more. They are eligible for a short term independent study contract.
- Parent/Caregiver should initiate the contract by using the Medical Independent Study Request Form
