Keep in mind when looking at these graphics:

• Students may need to have the Request for Principal Approval of an Excused Absence Form for excused absences that fall outside of the Board Approved Reasons.

• Students arriving to school late due to a transportation issue with the bus will be coded as LB and must be verified by checking the route sheet.
