Absence Excuse Form

There is no substitute for the uninterrupted personal contact between teachers and students in the classroom environment where learning experiences are carefully planned by the teachers. Even though students may make up class work missed because of absences, they may never be able to replace the educational, cultural and social contacts which they would have experienced through face to face instruction and class participation. Students with good attendance generally achieve higher levels of learning than those with poor attendance. An absence note that simply says "Please excuse my child from being absent" will not be an excused absence. You must let us know why your child was absent so we can determine if it is an excused absence under North Carolina law.
