Absences During Testing
Family trips taken during an entire assessment window will be marked as unexcused. Data collected during these assessments informs our practice and supports your student’s learning. Naturally, our preference is for families to travel during vacation periods outlined by the ISD.
If your family needs to travel outside of those windows, please be aware of two things:
- Absences during assessment windows are marked as unexcused.
- Per State law beginning 2017-18:
- Five or more unexcused absences in a month require a letter and a petition to be filed with the courts.
- Ten or more unexcused absences in a year require a letter and a petition to be filed with the courts.
