Absence – Matthew Road Academy

Illness Policy

A sick student may not return to school until 72 hours after he/she is free of fever or 36 hours for other symptoms without the aid of medication. If in doubt, it is best to keep your student home. This is for the protection of your student as well as the rest of the school.

Report an Absence

All absences will be unexcused until an online absence form has been submitted. MRA requires all work to be completed and brought back to class upon return from the absence. For each excused absence, one day of grace is given on homework that is due upon returning. However, remember that your student’s class is moving forward and this work may be pertinent to their studies. Unexcused absences will be assessed normal late penalties, including zeros for classes that do not allow late work.

Please visit each Facts (formerly Renweb) class page to find at home assignments as well as missed course work. If additional clarity is needed, please contact your student’s teacher via email in a timely manner so that you can still complete the work by the due date. *

I understand and will contact my student's teachers.

In the event of vacations, academic or extracurricular activities like sports, debate or drama, the online absence form must be submitted a minimum of 2 weeks prior to the absence and all work due during the absence must be submitted no later than the original due date. *

I have read and understand the advance absence policy.
