PTA UPDATES



INDEPENDENT STUDY UPDATE


California has updated its Independent Study Regulations.  Schools are now permitted to accept Independent Study Contracts for 1 day.  


1 Day or More Absences

We have updated our processes and will now be requesting Independent Study Contracts for most students who are absent for 1 day or more.  If your student is absent, you will receive an electronic contract (from Adobe) requesting your approval/signature.  Once your child returns to school, he/she will have up to 10 days (though preferably ASAP)  to complete the missing assignments due to the absence(s). 


Advance Notice of Absences

If you know in advance that your child(ren) will be absent, please email our attendance office @ attendance@mmcharter.org to request an Independent Study Contract.  Please indicate the dates of the absence in the email. 


While this may seem like extra work, ultimately, we hope that this new policy will help our students stay current with their classwork when absent from class.
