Excused Absences

• Absence due to personal illness

• Absence due to grave illness of an immediate family member

• Bereavement

• Participation in a school-sponsored event

MPCS reserves the right to question a large accumulation of absences. If absences are excessive, affect the school community, or interfere with the student’s ability to complete assignments, a conference will be called. If attendance concerns are not resolved, the school has the responsibility to take further actions to ensure students attend school. Review each division handbook for additional specifics regarding attendance.
