An excused absence means the student has a valid (stateaccepted) reason to miss class and the student has 5 days to
make up his work he missed.
If a student is absent for up to 3 days and it is excused, she
will make up the work upon her return, and the five day rule
applies
Students have 3 days to submit attendance notes in order to
be excused.
If there is ever a chance you’ll be out more than 3 days,
PLEASE CONTACT THE INDIVIDUAL TEACHERS ON THE
FIRST DAY so that counselors and teachers will be aware and
can help gather work for you if necessary.

What are Pathways?
Pathways are state-approved career enhancement programs defined as a
coherent articulated sequence of rigorous academic and career related courses
that can lead to an associate degree, and/or an industry-recognized certificate or
licensure, and/ or a baccalaureate degree and beyond. Selection of a pathway will
be based on the student’s own self-awareness and investigation of occupations.
1) CTE (Career and Technical Education) Pathway: Career pathways are a series of
three or four sequenced courses within a state approved area of study. Once
these sequenced courses are completed, the student will have the opportunity
to take national certificate or licensure assessments that will aid them in
preparation for the world of work or further assist them in continuing their
education at numerous levels.
2) Advanced Academic Pathway: An Advanced Academic Pathway may be
followed in any of these four content areas: language arts, mathematics,
science or social studies. See pathway criteria listed under each specific
academic option.
3) World Language Pathway: A World Language Pathway may be
followed in any of the world language areas included in the state
list of approved courses. See pathway criteria listed under World
Language area.
4) Fine Arts Pathway: A Fine Arts Pathway may be followed in any
of the three areas of study: visual arts, theater, or music. A
student has completed a Fine Arts Pathway when three courses,
from those identified in the three areas (Visual Arts, Theater, or
Music) have been completed.
