[QUOTE="Jeff Gilbert, post: 659395, member: 20280"] I kept it simple this year and last, I told the truth. Here is what I said; Please be advised that "Tigger" will not be in attendance at school from 9-29-03 thru 10-3-03. The two of us will be attending a weeklong gathering filled with real life experiences. Though not entirely academic in nature, "Tigger" will develop skills in interaction with people from all accross the world as well attend seminars to learn advanced athletic skills. Time will be sat aside each day for schoolwork, I trust you will allow "Tigger" to bring it with her. Please feel free to contact me for any additional information or questions. Thank you in advance, blah blah blah It seemed to work, I met all her teachers at open house last week and all mentioned that they got the note and would be more than happy to assist in any way. Sending the work would be no problem. I said pretty much the same thing last year and I had some of the teachers tell me, after the fact, that [B]anytime[/B] a student gets the chance to do something like this the real shame is not allowing the student to experience it. Though it will not be an excused absense, the time away last year didn't hurt at all. In fact the work they sent with her last year, most of it the class hadn't gotten to when she returned to school. Several of her teachers gave her extra credit for doing it in advance. The only downside is she is only allowed to miss so many days of school in 6 weeks before the truient officer comes to pay a visit. Just have to make sure those are the only days she misses in that report period which fortunantly has never been a problem for us. I must add, make dang sure the work sent is completed and turned in the 1st day back. I did have a couple of teachers comment last year that they were impressed that she actually did her work. They said that the majority of students that ask for advance work never turn it in and that's why missing school is frowned upon. [/QUOTE]
