FAMILY VACATION FORM

OFFICE OF THE PRINCIPAL:

Student Name: ____________________________________Section:_________St. #______________________

Dear Parents:

Thank you for informing us of your decision to allow your child to make a trip with time out of school.

While the parents of a student have certain customary rights regarding absence of a student, I want you to know

that such absence in not excused.

If you, as a parent, decide to withdraw a student for a period of time, then it is the student’s obligation

to make up the work missed. Teachers make every effort to assist a student making up work missed due to

serious illness, a hospital stay, etc., which are excused absences. However, an education geared towards

responsibility requires a student to make only minimal demands of a teacher in the case of unexcused absences.

Tests, quizzes, projects due by a certain date, work to be covered in a textbook, all these fall upon a

student as a matter of personal obligation. I trust you and your family will understand that the school is not

trying to make life difficult for you, but only to assist you in understanding that educational standards must be

upheld. Personal responsibilities must be met and certain guidelines governing the rules of attendance must be

pointed out.

Nevertheless, I would hope that your plans for your child’s time off are pleasantly realized and that the

balance of the school year has many blessings for you and your family.

Sincerely,

Mary Harkins, Principal
