Skipping School in Miami Dade: A Guide for the Enthusiastically Enthusiastic (but Responsible-ish) Student
Ah, Miami Dade. Land of sunshine, beaches, and...strict attendance policies? Maybe skipping school for that perfect day at the waves sounds tempting, but before you ditch those textbooks and grab your surfboard, let's get schooled on unexcused absences.

The Unexcused Absence Lowdown: How Many Can You Rack Up Before Detention Becomes Your New BFF?
Miami-Dade County Public Schools are pretty chill about absences...as long as you have a legit excuse. But for those times when that "sudden urge to explore the Everglades" excuse just won't fly, here's the real deal:
- 10 unexcused absences in a year-long course or 5 unexcused absences in a semester course is the magic number. Hit that limit, and your grades might be taking a permanent vacation alongside your dreams of that perfect tan.
But wait! There's more! This doesn't mean you're automatically failing. You'll just have to jump through some hoops (administrative stuff, not literal hoops...those might be fun though) to get your grades back on track.
Here's the not-so-fun part: Unexcused absences mean no make-up work from the teacher. So, you're basically on your own, dude.
QuickTip: Revisit key lines for better recall.
The takeaway? Skipping for a tan is a risky proposition.
So You Want to be a Model Student (at least on paper)? Here's How to Avoid the Unexcused Absence Abyss:
- Don't be a flake! Set those alarms, plan your mornings, and be responsible. Your future self (the one who doesn't have to beg for summer school) will thank you.
- Doctor's note? More like "Lifesaver's note!" A legitimate excuse can save your grades (and your social life...because who wants to explain a failing grade to their friends?).
- Communication is key! Talk to your teachers if something comes up. They're usually pretty understanding, especially if you have a good track record.
Remember: A little effort goes a long way.
