Judkins Middle School

Short-Term Independent Study

If you have a planned trip and know your child will be missing school, you can make sure they get attendance credit by having them complete a Short Term Independent Study Contract (STISC). Please pay attention to the following details before you submit your request for a STISC:

  • A STISC will not be granted unless you submit your request THREE OR MORE WORKING days PRIOR to your child's absence. 
  • Students with poor grades and multiple missing assignments will not qualify for a STISC. 
  • Any student going on a STISC will meet with an Administrator prior to their absence to ensure they understand that they are committing to doing their school work and having all assignments complete upon their return to school.
  • Any student on a STISC who does not complete their work in time will complete missing assignments at break/lunch upon their return to school. In addition, their absences will go as unexcused. Keep in mind that unexcused absences could result in truancy notifications.
