Independent Study Contracts
These contracts are for students planning to miss regular instruction time due to an extended absence for a minimum of 5 school days. The Attendance Office will need at least two weeks advance notice (by parent/guardian note or telephone call) in order to collect assignments and necessary teacher signatures. The student will then pick up the contracts for a parent/guardian signature. Students are responsible for asking the teachers to sign the contracts and provide assignments. Before leaving on an extended absence, the student must return the contracts to the Attendance Office since state attendance auditors closely review independent study contracts and all steps must be followed completely.
