BlueSky students must submit a minimum of qualifying activities each week to be eligible for full attendance. Every three completed qualifying activities is the equivalent of 1 day of attendance. Students meeting minimum attendance will not guarantee that students stay on pace in their courses.
The school “week” is defined as 12:00 am Sunday through 11:59 pm Saturday. If assignments were turned in after the cut off on the following Sunday they count towards the next week’s attendance.
Students are allowed 3 consecutive sick days without a doctor’s note. A note from a licensed medical or mental health professional is a satisfactory excuse. However, a doctor’s note can be requested at any time.
Students may be granted 5 vacation days per year. Vacations should be discussed with the team ahead of time to create a plan for the student so they do not fall behind in their course work. If going on vacation, please fill out this Student Pre-Approval Vacation Form at least one week before going on vacation.
If under 18, a parent/guardian needs to call and give the student’s legal name and grade, speak slowly and clearly. Leave the reason and dates for their absence.
Because online classes are flexible in terms of attendance, a student may only receive an “excused” absence for a medical, dental or orthodontic appointment if the appointment will significantly interfere with the student’s ability to participate in online classes (i.e. a full-day observation, recovery from surgery, physical therapy, intensive psychiatric counseling, etc.)
