Pocahontas High School Seniors are allowed two (2) college/career days without being counted absent from school provided that they meet the following criteria.

1. Have not exceeded the number of allowable absences (6) as determined by district policy in any academic (credit) class during the current semester. (See Mrs. Dianna in the PHS office to pick up a college day request form.)

2. Visit with the high school counselor about your post-secondary visit, and have Mrs. Hampton sign the college day request form.

3. One of the days must be a college preview day set by the post secondary institution. The other day may be scheduled by the student.

4. Have a parent/guardian sign the college day request form, and submit it to the PHS office for administrator approval, at least one (1) day prior to the student’s visit.

5. During your college visit, you must obtain written verification from the post secondary institution as to your presence. Return the written verification to the PHS office on your next day back to school. In the event that you visit a post secondary institution without fulfilling the requirements as listed, you will be considered absent under the attendance policy.
