- Be an original note from a doctor’s office

If the student is missing school for a pre-planned absence Jordan School District allows students to make application to an administrator to miss up to ten school days of each year for prior-approved education/vacation release. Students are still responsible to complete class assignments. The days may be applied for individual or multiple days up to ten per year.
- Forms are available in the attendance office and must be signed by parent, teachers and administrator and then returned to the attendance office prior to student leaving on vacation.
- Students may take no more than ten prior-approved education/vacation release absences per year.
