There will be no trip absences approved during standardized testing, Keystone examinations, quarterly examinations, or final examinations. There will be no trip absences approved for more than five (5) class days. Planned absences that shorten the school year by coinciding with either the beginning or end of the school year, Thanksgiving, winter break, or spring break are not permitted.
