NOTE: Religious and Cultural Observances

Congressional School understands that families practice a variety of religions and observances recognizing diverse holidays. Parents are asked to notify their child’s homeroom teacher or advisor in writing in advance of planned absences or special observances/customs that the child adheres to so that the school can work to support students and families. Students absent from school for religious observances will have an opportunity to make up any missed work and/or tests.
