Family Vacations
In the event that students will be absent for 3 or more consecutive days for non-medical reasons,
parents are requested to submit a written notification and explanation to the main office one week prior to the absence
.
SBA requires that all students attend school in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Parents are also expected to abide
according to Act 39, the law that
monitors compulsory attendance at school
, and tracks and reports on student truancy from school. I appreciate your cooperation in notifying not only the teachers, but also the main office for student absences.
