What is One-Day Independent Study?

Our voluntary One-Day Independent Study (IS) program allows students to stay on track with learning when they need to be absent for a short period (such as illness, appointments, family emergencies, or personal reasons). Students complete their assignment at home and receive attendance credit once the work is submitted. This option differs from requests beyond 1 day, as there is no advance notice required and it is requested directly through the school site's office assistant.

How It Works

Request Independent Study or agree to participate if asked by your school on the day of the absence.
Receive Assignments
Complete & Return Work
  • Students must return completed work within 15 days of the day of the absence.
  • It is preferred that work be returned sooner if possible
  • Attendance credit will be given once the work is turned in.
