Request to Waive Unexcused Status of Student Absence
Please submit this form to your student's teacher at least 5 school days in advance of planned absence. The Farmington School Board believes that it is the student's right and responsibility to be in school. Further, the school board believes that regular school attendance is directly related to success in academic work, benefits students socially, provides opportunities for important communications between teachers and students and establishes regular habits of dependability important to the future of the student. Our school board policy articulates this as its purpose. It encourages regular school attendance and recognizes that class attendance is a joint responsibility to be shared by the student, parent or guardian, teacher, and administrators.
