yes it is you just have to have a note signed and written by a legal parent or gaurdian
This is my thought son the question. I believe that the court ordered visitation should be an excused absence from school seeing that if the custodial parent does not OBEY the court order it is then considered Contempt of Court, so....Yes if it is court ordered a child should be excused from school for a visitation.
If it is a national holiday or a school holiday, the child will be excused from school without your having requested an excuse. If the holiday is a holiday not observed by the school, you address your letter to the principal of the school and simply request that the child, identified by name, be excused from attending school on the specific date of the holiday, and describing what the child will be doing on that day in observation of the holiday.
Yes or be prepared to go to jail. There are scant few circumstances where your absence would be excused and even then, you should have an attorney appear for you.
When you have a doctor's note, you get an excused absence, but it still counts as an absence. The school has to ensure that the student is present for enough days to have learned enough to pass onto the next grade. Though sometimes schools are more lenient when it comes to absences with doctor's notes, especially if the child has a chronic illness.
Yes, it's considered an unexcused absence under state regulation.
you take them to school because if you said bring them to school it sounds as if you are going to school and you are taking the child with you
A child is generally labeled truant if they miss a certain number of days without excuses. Typically, an illness does excuse an absence, and truancy is based on the number of unexcused absences. If your child is chronically ill, its understandable that you may not be notifying the school each day that he/she will miss. If your child is sick enough that they are missing enough school to be considered truant, you should make an appointment to speak with the schools administrators right away. You can talk to them about the illness that is plaguing your child, the amount of time your child can realistically be expected to attend school/work on school work, and a plan for how to keep your child up to date with his/her peers. If the child is chronically hospitalized, you should also speak with hospital staff about alternative education programs. If you are simply allowing your child to stay home sick too much, and not taking the proper route to have the absence excused, you need to consider the long term effect that this is having on your child, and adjust your parenting accordingly.
Absolutely, tonsillitis is a very painful condition and needs to be attended to by a physician, especially if a high fever is detected.
The law that matters here is the truancy law. Truancy laws vary from state to state, but most are triggered when a certain number of unexcused absences are reported. Excused absences, such as for illness or religious purposes are not counted. Check with your child's school to find out their policy for excusing absences for visiting family. If it is an unexcused absence, and they are out for the requisite number of days, it may be a legal problem. However, this is unlikely. Most likely, this will only trigger non-legal consequences, dealing directly with the school. The specifics of these consequences will depend on the age of the child, their other absences, the timing of this absence, and school policy.
You need to watch out if the are not going to school. If the are missing school and do not have an excused absence and this becomes excessive you the parent can be liable. you will have to pay fines, the schools are paid based on attendance, so if your child is missing alot of school it can lead to you having to go to court and paying major fines!
In the letter, start by stating the child's name and grade, followed by the dates they were absent for religious reasons. Explain briefly the religious event or ceremony that required the child's absence and express your commitment to ensuring their education is not affected. Thank the school for understanding and supporting the child's religious observance.
Yes. However, you are permitted excused absences during the child's birth. You should meet with school authorities immediately to discuss what steps need to be taken.
