  • JUNIORS and SENIORS are allowed 2 excused absences each year to visit colleges.  (Local Policy 6.5.1)
  • Students must pick up a college visit form from the Attendance Office and have it signed by a representative from the college.
  • Students are responsible for notifying their teachers of their absence and making arrangements for missed assignments. 

Career Investigation days can be used to shadow a professional in a field of the student’s career interest.

It must then be signed by the workplace professional and submitted by the student to their grade level administrator following the absence.
