Im really worried I might get cut from classes for absences

^Title
I'm worried I will be dropped from my classes for absences. According to the attendance chart, it says I have about 6 absent days. However, most of the days are from dentist and doctor appointments. If I am absent for a part of the day does it count as an absence?

If I do go absent tommorow, that would probably be my last absent of the semester because I am going on vacation tommorow.

Here is my school website regarding the absent policy, and I was wondering if going for a 7th absent would flunk my classes.
Thanks for helping!

If the maximum allowable excuses are 10 days, then I think you're fine. But honestly, you should try to be a little more careful till the semester ends. Only because if you have way too much absences for a class, you don't get credit for it regardless of your grades.

Damn, do schools really take that seriously? I got those letters from the district on a weekly basis practically since I had like at least 3 weeks of absences and was never cut from classes.

I'm pretty sure they can't drop you as long as you have a doctor's excuse.

Once you hit 11 absences for a single class, you're dropped from it. So if you're absent from your first class 11 times but only 8 times for all your other classes, you're only dropped from your first class.
You don't have to worry if you're only on your 7th absence

you must have really crappy parents if they didn't call your school for notice of doctors and dentist appointments man
