CNG HIGH SCHOOL CLASSROOM WITHOUT WALLS (CWW) CREDIT POLICIES

CWW WEEK ABSENCE FORM

CWW WEEK ABSENCE

CNG’s expectation is that all students will participate in the Classroom Without Walls (CWW) travel or local program each year while at CNG. These programs are educational and part of the learning experience that the school offers its students and our hope is that students participate in CNG’s Classroom Without Walls experiences.  

With the above in mind, we understand that some parents and students will still opt to do other activities during the CWW time frame. Because it is important that students still have experiences that are educational and meaningful, see below if you would like to have the time counted as an excused absence. We ask that you please make sure to review the attendance points stated below and discuss how the absences will affect your child. 

  • Medical absence – Student is having a surgery or extensive exams done. It will be important for the student to submit to the attendance office a medical excuse/Doctor’s note specifically stat- ing the dates of the procedure and dates needed for recovery. If the dates do not match up with the dates missed, the student will be counted as unexcused for dates not listed.
  • University visits – Student will need to submit a letter from each university visited. There should be one letter for each day missed (if the universities are far apart, travel time will be considered) from the university stating that the student participated in a visit.
  • Community Service Experience – Students should bring a letter from the foundation that they completed the community service hours with. The letter should specifically note the hours completed and the exact dates and times. 
  • Internships – Students doing internships are required to bring a letter from the company/organization they did the internship with which specifically states the type of internship experience, dates and hours attended, and have contact information for the organization.
  • Other – any other situation not stated must be discussed with the student’s grade level administrator. He/she will then inform the student and parents what are the requirements for the student’s absences to be considered excused.

CREDIT FOR CWW OFF-CAMPUS TRIPS

CREDIT FOR CWW OFF-CAMPUS TRIPS

Students who participate in the Classroom Without Walls (CWW) off-campus trips have the opportunity to earn 0.5 elective credit by attending the entire trip. The CWW elective credit can only be used for credit remediation at CNG, and will only be granted with the approval of the High School principal.

CREDIT FOR LOCAL CWW EXPERIENCES

CREDIT FOR LOCAL CWW EXPERIENCES

Students who participate other local options as designated by the school may receive up to 0.25 credit. Typically community service options will not be available through this option.

Note:

Note: Students who do not attend any of the above options must seek approval for their absence through the HS Administration. Typically these absences will be considered unexcused absences unless they fall into one of the previously approved categories. In this case, they will be considered excused.

Students who attend activities outside the school during the HS CWW week OR who do not complete the above requirements are not eligible to receive credit nor social service hours.
