Planned Absence Form

(Must be received One week prior to planned absence)

Planned absences may be for any reason. The importance of one week (7 days advance notification) of any absence (outside of illness and family emergencies), is to allow teachers/monitors time to prepare school work for your student.

Planned Absence Policy*
Please check to confirm you understand and agree with the FCMS Planned Absence Policy.
Planned absence is considered an excused absence. In order to receive credit for schoolwork and/or quizzes/tests, during a planned absence, you must submit your request one week in advance. Additionally, all schoolwork during the planned absence is due on the first day the student returns. All missed tests and quizzes will also be taken when the student returns. Any missing work that is not returned on their first day back from the planned absence, will not be accepted late and no credit will be given.

FCMS does not allow planned absences during 1st or 2nd Semester 7th/8th Grade Finals. Make-up tests will not be granted.

All absences (excused, unexcused, planned) count towards a student’s total number of absences. Please refer to our Attendance Policy in our handbook.
