Juniors and seniors are permitted up to two college visit days per school year.

How it works:

1. Plan ahead: Students should schedule their college visit in advance and note the date(s) of their visit.
2. Report the absence: A parent or guardian must report the absence as a college visit—either by calling the Attendance Office or submitting it through the online absence portal.
3. Provide documentation: After the visit, students must submit proof of attendance from the college. Acceptable documentation includes:
   • An official campus visit form
   • A signed letter from the admissions office
   • A dated brochure or email confirmation from the college

Once documentation is received, the absence will be marked updated and will not count against the student’s attendance record.
