Independent Study Information

Short Term Independent Study

The following are guidelines for Short Term Independent Study:

  • Your student must be gone for at least 5 days, but no more than 10 days (maximum of 14) during the duration of the school year.
  • A request for a Short Term Independent Study contract needs to go to your student’s teacher at least 2 weeks in advance.
  • A Short Term Independent Study Contract needs to be in place 2 weeks prior to the absence and signed by all parties (Teacher, Principal, Parent and Student)
  • Students must finish all assigned work to receive credit.  

Please remember that even though Independent Study is a great tool, but being in class is always best.  When absent, even while on a Short Term Independent Study Contract, important classroom instructional time is missed.
