‼️NEW POLICY FOR DOCTOR EXCUSES‼️
🚨New Policy for Doctors' Excuses🚨
Effective August 12, 2025, APSB will require doctors' offices, urgent care centers, hospitals, and other medical providers to email student excuses directly to your child's school. This means that printed excuses from these medical facilities will no longer be accepted when submitted by parents or students.
This new procedure will help ensure the timely and accurate submission of medical documentation for your child's attendance records.
Please note: This new procedure applies to students in Kindergarten through 12th grade. Pre-K students will continue to follow their existing excuse submission procedures.
We encourage you to inform your healthcare providers of this new policy so they can be prepared to email excuses directly to the school. Each school will provide its specific email address for this purpose.
We understand that changes can sometimes bring questions. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this new procedure, please do not hesitate to contact Kenneth Courville at 337-639-4311 or [email protected].
