CPS Attendance Waiver Request Form

• To receive credit for high school classes, the VDOE requires that students have not only a passing grade in a course (63.5+), but also must complete 140 instructional hours to get credit for the class.
• Students only need to apply for a waiver if they have more than the allowable number of absences.  Students may not exceed
  
  • 9 absences in each 1-credit semester-long class
  • 9 absences in each year-long, alternating-day class
  • 18 absences for each year-long, 2-credit class
• Tardy to Class - if students miss more than 30 minutes of instruction in any class, they will receive a new tardy code that will also count as missed instruction time for loss of credit.  
  
  • TUC - Tardy Unexcused Class
• Students may have a combination of absences and tardies that exceed 30 minutes or more of missed instruction time that accounts for the 140 instructional hours needed in each class.
• Students and parents can check attendance by class in StudentVUE or ParentVUE by going to the attendance tab and hovering the mouse over the bar next to the class name. See the screenshot below. Parents, if you do not have access to ParentVUE, go to the ParentVue website and click "Request Account Activation" to get a code to login to ParentVue.

**This attendance waiver request must be received prior to the close of a semester but no later than ten days after the close of a semester course.
