I missed an entire semester of middle school due to illnesses. They called and threatened to send truancy officers despite the fact that they were all excused by doctors.

You need to have every absence excused unfortunately. I’ve worked in a high absentee district where kids didn’t show up because parents were too drunk or hung over to take them. I understand the school’s policy and it’s not to make your kid or you feel bad. They’re not worried about the sick kids, they’re worried about the don’t give a crap kids.
