Senior Skip Day

International Skip Day (or International Ditch Day) is a tradition in some American and Canadian high schools where (nearly) the entire senior class will excuse themselves from school on a pre-determined day. Most American school districts generally do not condone the skip day [ [http://www.moniteau.k12.pa.us/Policy%20Manual/Policy+204+attendance%5B1%5D.pdf Moniteau School District Attendence Policy] , Moniteau, Penn., 2004] but punishment typically does not occur if the student has not exceeded the limit on unexcused absences. Some schools, however, impose administrative action on any student who has participated in a skip day.
