So sorry for everyone who has a difficult school to work with! I took my kids 1st & 3rd out for a 2 1/2 week trip in Sept. They missed 12 school days. The school was awesome. Said had a great time, we talked about Disney, she told me all about her own trip there. The teachers were just as great. The kids made up some of the work, obviously they weren't expected to do every paper from the whole time, and wrote journals about the trip. The teachers gave the journals back, so I now have them to keep My kids both came back to straight A's, and do very well!
Go ahead and do it!
I remember when I was on a trip, missing school, with my own family when I was in 8th grade. My parents were talking about how silly it is that some people value perfect attendance over family time. He said someday when other people are sitting around talking about great memories of family trips together he feels sorry for the guy that all he can say is what a great memory he has of getting a perfect attendance award!
