EDUCATIONAL LEAVE OF ABSENCE:
Absence from school for reasons other than illness
is strongly discouraged at Huntingtowne Farms.
In the event that an absence is deemed to have substantial educational value,
a parent may apply at least 2 weeks in advance
for an educational leave of absence for a student.
By law, the absence can only be excused if the educational leave
is directly related to the specific curriculum
for the student’s current grade level.
An educational leave of absence will only be allowed
on one occasion per school year, for up to 3 days.
More information about Educational Leave of Absence is located below.
