HIGH SCHOOL SHADOWING POLICY FOR 8TH GRADERS

Choosing a high school is a very important decision. Shadow days are afforded to our 8th graders to help them make the most educated decision possible. Students are encouraged to schedule shadow days during days when St. Veronica School is not in session. In the event that a school day must be used for shadowing, the following policy will be utilized: 

1. 8th graders will be permitted to have 3 excused absences due to shadow days.   
2. Parents should email or call the middle school teachers and the school office prior to missing school for shadow experiences.  
3. Students are responsible for any and all work missed due to shadow days.
