ATTENDANCE CODES & INFORMATION
Student time in classes with your teacher is VERY IMPORTANT - Your goal should be to avoid getting any NCA’s (No Credit Awarded) in any class.
What is an NCA?
An NCA means the student has 5 or more absences in a class in a trimester. Remember students are only allowed to have 4 absences or less in a trimester. NCA means the student will not receive credit in that class due to attendance until the student completes the required seat time that is needed to recover that credit.
Absences that count towards NCA include:
- Unverified (A)
- Parent Excused (P)
- Illness (V)
- Truancy (C)
Absences that do not count towards NCA and may require documentation include:
- School sponsored activities (S)
- Medical (M)
- Legal appointments or court hearings (L)
- Death in family/bereavement (B)
- Religious observation (R)
- Administratively Approved (D)
- In-school/out-of-school suspension (I or O)

ADMINISTRATION APPROVED ABSENCES
Administrator Approved Travel Requests
Nampa understands there may be occasions in which your student will not be able to attend school (ie. family vacation, college visits, club sporting events, rodeos, etc.) We are happy to work with you to excuse these when possible.
Parents/guardians will need to complete and submit the Administrator Approved Travel Requests Form (linked below). This will provide Admin with the reason for the students’ absence and allow for the consideration of administrative approval.
*Admin approval will not count towards an NCA*
Forms must be completed 10 days PRIOR to the student being absent.
If you plan to be gone longer than 10 days, please contact our school to make the necessary arrangements.
Most important is that any missed learning by the student needs to be completed and shown to their teachers.
If you have any questions about this process or completing the form, please contact our attendance office at 208-498-0552 or by email to NHSattendance@NSD131.org.
