Independent Study

  • SHORT TERM INDEPENDENT STUDY FOR PRE-DETERMINED ABSENCES

    A parent/caregiver must request an independent study in advance of the student's absence:
    • 5-10 consecutive instructional day independent study contract: Must request at least five days in advance
    • 11+ consecutive instructional day independent study contract: Must request and contact principal ten days in advance
       
    As a packet of work can never completely replace the learning that occurs in the classroom, we strongly encourage students and families to limit independent study requests to one per school year.  However, if your family's circumstances necessitate more than one independent study contract within the same school year, you are welcome to request more than one provided you do not exceed 14 days for the year.
     
    To request an Independent Study contract, please fill out the form below. It will be routed to the office manager of your school.
