3. Include a letter explaining the extremely extenuating circumstances for the delayed return in September.

Please note:

• Student absences at the beginning of the school year may result in missed opportunities to build friendships, establish classroom routines, and take part in key early instruction.
• Late returns should only occur due to extremely extenuating circumstances.

Very Important:
