The board encourages pregnant students to continue to attend the education program as long as they are physically able to do so. The pregnant student may notify the principal
or the guidance counselor as soon as she is aware of the pregnancy. The school may require that a pregnant student provide the principal with a written note from her doctor
relative to special conditions that might exist and specific suggestions as to how long the student may continue to attend classes. If the student is unable to attend school
because of her pregnancy, the student may be excused and arrangements made to continue her studies during her absence. The student will resume classes upon the
recommendation of her physician.
