All assemblies, field trips, pep rallies, etc., are to be approved by the principal and the event marked on the calendar on the secretary's desk (Also this should be marked on the calendar coordinator's schedule). This helps to avoid overlapping events. We will attempt to develop a yearly calendar. The sponsors are responsible to get all of the appropriate forms and signatures in order for students to participate.

Three days before the fieldtrip the appropriate administrator should be advised in writing of the students who are not participating and the specific plans/arrangements for these students. A list of students attending the fieldtrip should be placed in each teacher's box two days before the fieldtrip.

 Advanced Notice Absences

• School-related absences are also excused and the student is marked present in the classes missed. Advance notice absences require written documentation from the sponsor with the principal's approval to be excused. Classroom teachers will receive notification of students' participation in advance notice absences.

The following are absences for which advance notice is necessary:

• Field trips

• School activities (on or off campus)

• Any other activity with prior permission of the principal.
