Pursuant to Diocesan policy 4040, certain school absences are determined to be unexcused absences. School absences related to family vacation is one of the school absences determined to be an unexcused absence.
Queen of Peace School has established the following policy related to student absence for family vacations: “If a child is to receive make-up work for an absence due to a family vacation, a parent/guardian must notify the school one week in advance of the absence to request make-up work. No schoolwork will be provided in advance of the absence. For family vacations of one to two school days, a student will have one school day in which to complete the make-up work; for family vacations extending three to five school days, a student will have three school days to complete the make-up work; for family vacations in excess of five days, a student will have five school days in which to complete the make-up work. In no case will the number of days to complete make-up work extend beyond five school days.”
