Pre-Arranged Absence for Extended Leave or Vacation

We recognize there are times when it is necessary due to family schedules, etc. that students take extended leave from school. Extended leave arrangements are applicable when students will miss school for three (3) days or more. In such cases, the following procedures will apply.

For Grades K-6

Parents should inform their child(s) teacher of the absence at least three (3) days prior to the anticipated absence. Teachers then will prepare the necessary information for makeup of schoolwork, etc. For leave beyond five (5) days, parents are asked to consult with the elementary building principal.

For Grades 7-12

For extended leave for students in the middle or high school, parents are asked to complete the Pre-Arranged Absence Form at least three (3) days prior to the anticipated absence. This Pre-Arranged Absence Form will be approved by the Hopkinton High School administration and shared with individual teachers who will note the assignments and work to be made up. For all extended leaves, students will have one week to make up the work as noted on the Pre-Arranged Absence Form. The Pre-Arranged Absence Form is available from the Hopkinton High School Office.
