No specific policy regarding missed classes due to school sanctioned activities or due to taking IB and AP exams, i.e., missed classes are missed classes no matter the reason.

So it’s not like the syllabus said you lost a point for every day you missed no matter what. Just that participation was worth 60% and you couldn’t make it up with work outside of class.

She probably has a quality measure for participation as well as a quantity measure and kids who are sufficiently engaged when they are there can overcome losing points for their activities.

So, in the end, a nonissue. (Upperclassmen could probably have told him this.)
