Short Term Independent Study Contract

While students are highly discouraged from missing school for reasons other than illness, family emergencies or special events sometimes necessitate travel out of the area. In order to avoid penalties for missing class for these reasons, students must contract to do work during the period of absence.
 
Pre-Informed Independent Study Contracts must meet strict California State guidelines in order to result in excused absences:
      • Short-term Independent Study (IS) needs to be a minimum of one (1) day and a maximum of fifteen (15) days.
      • IS will not be approved during the first or the last week of each semester. All finals must be taken at the school site.
      • Work must be turned in the day the student returns to school
      • No more than 15 days will be granted per school year
    • Partial attendance credit will be given for partial work turned into a teacher. Senior students need to be aware that this could affect senior activities, including the graduation ceremony.
