Beginning 2008, a medical or dental appointment must have PRIOR APPROVAL of the principal or his/her designee in order to be excused, except in the case of an emergency. Upon returning to school a proper excuse must be presented from the attending physician/dentist.
Please use the form below to let the school know of scheduled medical/dental appointments.
Umm, I don't think so. It is none of their business when, where, and to whom I take my child to see. I certainly do not seek their approval of it.
The whole excused absence thing to me is a joke. See, if my kids have a certain number of unexcused absences I get to go to jail or be fined. Now they want to put that in the hands of an elementary school principal who has a God complex. "Oh, I think Gracie has been to the dentist/doctor enough this year. I don't think I'll approve this visit."
When my kids don't go to school it is no one's business but my own. What are they trying to accomplish here? I"m not a child. I don't ask permission where my kids are concerned. No, they can't keep me from taking my child to the doctor/dentist but they can send me nasty and threatening letters if they miss too much.
This may just be too much. I may have to bite the bullet and teach them at home. This constant interference into mine and my children's lives is almost too much.

You gotta be kidding me.
And to think: there was a small lingering pride I felt in knowing that your kids are/will be attending the very same school I went to starting over 20 years ago (SHIT I'M OLD!!!).
Not anymore. Good feelings gone.
Screwem.
