Religious Observances

Reasonable efforts will be made to avoid the scheduling of school events, e.g., athletic events, concerts, and standardized testing on dates that conflict with religious observances. Parents/Guardians may request that their child be excused from school to participate in religious observances. The student will be marked as absent from school but excused because of a religious observance. The student will be allowed to make up any missed work without academic penalty due to a religious observance(s) as long as missed assignments have met the agreed upon assignments and timeline.
