Independent Study: Reminder of Independent Study contract rules:

1) All signatures must be dated, and the date of each signature must indicate that it was obtained no later than the beginning date of the contract.

2) The teacher, parent, administrator and child all must sign. If the child is too young to sign, have them make a mark of some kind on the signature line.

3) All contracts must be at least five days in length. If the child returns less than five days of work, the days for which work was not completed does not count as ADA.

4) If the student returns prior to the end of the contract, office personnel should make a note in a blank area of the contract of the date, with their initial. Do not scratch out or change dates. As long as the student was out for at least five days, the contract is still valid for attendance purposes.

5) Power School must reflect actual days of absence and be appropriately coded.

6) Contracts that do not reach five days because of school closure on November 16 will be honored, although November 16 is not to be recorded as a day of attendance.
