Short Term Independent Study
Short-term Independent Study may be an option for students who will be absent for five (5) to fifteen (15) consecutive school days. To be eligible for a Short-term Independent Study contract, students:
-
Must have a good attendance record
-
Must be in good academic standing (2.0 with no F’s on most recent grade reporting).
-
Have no scheduled days of absence during final exam/Statewide testing periods.
-
Give ten (10) school days’ notice and complete an Independent Study Application
If a student must be absent for more than 15 days, the student must be withdrawn from the Woodland Joint School District, and be enrolled in the destination district.
The parent/guardian must meet the school’s guidelines for requesting Independent Study contracts. If all the contracted work is returned with satisfactory progress, the student will maintain a clear attendance record. If the student’s work is unsatisfactory, or incomplete, the school can only grant excused days of absence for the amount of satisfactory work returned. The other days of absence will be considered unexcused, and will count towards truancy limits. If a student had any unexcused absence(s) due to failure to complete work on an initial Independent Study contract, a second Independent Study contract will not be granted.
