Independent Study
There are times when a student must miss school because of family obligations, educational travel opportunities and quarantining for healthy students. On these occasions, teachers can provide an independent assignments plan to guide learning and study while the student is absent from class. We encourage families to schedule trips during school vacations and not to take lightly that the child will miss important lessons and shared experiences with their class during their absence. When absence is unavoidable there is Independent Study, which supports both your child and our school.
Families may arrange for an Independent Study plan in advance of absences to allow student to continue their participation in class work while they are away. Independent Study Request forms and other information is located below. For absences, please provide 3 or more school days of advance notice to your teacher and the office to allow time to prepare your child’s Independent Study assignment.
REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION
Two Documents are required for completion of the Independent Study:
■ Independent Study Agreement Form: Outlines the dates of absences and the requirements for successfully
completing the Independent Study. This form is due in the office, signed by the parent, 3 school days before the start
of the absence.
■ Independent Study Assignment Grid: Upon receipt of the Agreement Form, the teacher will provide an appropriate
Independent Study Assignment Grid/Plan. This plan describes the required assignments and projects for the student to
complete during their absence. This form, along with the completed work, is due to the teacher within 3 school days upon return
from the absence.
