Welcome to Walnut Grove Christian School!

A form must be submitted two weeks prior to the absence. You must submit a separate form for for each student in the family.

High School Students: Because of the amount of time that would be missed from each class due to our schedule in high school, we urge parents to strongly consider the educational impact on any extended absence before submitting a request. Although some very strong students may be able to make up for missing as many as 4 consecutive days of school, even the best students will suffer some academic impact. Students who are not strong will obviously suffer an even greater negative effect. Any student who has a grade of D or lower in any class will not be approved for an extended absence. If a request is not approved, the days missed will be regarded as unexcused for both academic and attendance reasons. Please see our Student/Parent Handbook.
K-8th Grade: We do not require teachers to provide make-up work for students. They have the option to provide an alternate assignment or provide make-up work for the absence. Please discuss with your student’s teacher(s) in advance which method of assignments they will be providing and if it is make-up work, if it will be provided before or after the absence.

Start & End date of absence request(Required)

Reason for absence(Required)

Signature(Required)

I request permission for my student to be excused from school for the dates listed above. I understand that excusing an absence does not mean it is erased. Excusing the absence means there is a legal/valid reason for the absence; however, the absence remains on the student's record. Additionally, I understand that if a request is approved, it is the student's responsibility to collect assignments from the teachers before the trip and to hand in any assignments immediately upon return to school. Teachers are not obligated to remain after school to tutor students in work they may have missed.

Parent Signature(Required)
