We understand that families go on vacation throughout the school year. For any planned student absences that will be longer than 5 days, or if students will be absent for extended periods multiple times throughout the year, families are required to get approval from the school. The extended absences may be excused if the following steps are taken:
*If a student is planning an extended absence for longer than a month (4 weeks), the student may be withdrawn from DLS, per DPS guidance, and re-enrolled upon return. All extended absences must be approved by the campus principal and DLS registrar prior to going on an extended absence.
-
Parent/guardian completes the extended absence form (Spanish) one week prior to the absence, and submits it to the front desk (office@denverlanguageschool.org).
-
The operations team will alert the classroom teacher(s) and administration of the extended absence reason and number of missed days.
-
The classroom teacher(s) will provide work that needs to be completed during the absence to the parent/guardian and student.
-
All required missed work must be turned in on the day the student returns to school.
-
Once all work is turned in and graded by the teacher(s), the absences will be marked as excused.
