Planning to visit a College?

All Juniors and Seniors are allotted two excused absences for college visits. Travel days are not included. In order for your absences to be approved, you must complete the required steps.

Step 1: Complete the college visit form. This form should only be completed after you have scheduled your visit with the college campus.

Step 2: Discuss the absence with your teachers prior to your college visit and ask about any missed work.

Step 3: When on the college campus, request a letter from the college/university stating the specific dates you visited the campus with an official campus personnel's signature. A flyer, brochure, email, or itinerary will not be accepted and will result in the absence not being excused. It must be on school letter head and include your name as well as your JHS school ID.

Step 4: Return official document to the attendance office within 2 days of returning to campus.

Remember the absence will only be excused if the student follows the directions outlined on this page.
