Religious Expression Days

Students will be excused for up to three religious expression days per school year, provided that the parent or guardian provides written notice to the school or district of the selected days within 14 school days of the start of school (or within 14 days of a newly enrolled student's first day in the school or district).  

See full policy here.

If the approved absence creates a conflict, the principal requires the appropriate classroom teachers to schedule a date and time for an alternative examination or other academic requirement that may be before or after the originally scheduled time and date.
