Norris has really tightened up their attendance policy for the high school students this year. The last couple years with Covid it has been pretty lax concerning how many days you can miss. Bryce is the King of the Mental Health Mondays, and he also likes to go on a winter ski trip and The Big Ten Tournament. After the info came out about the revised attendance policy, we had to have a chat that he had to do better this year so that he would get credit for his classes. I had told him and Caleb that they could go to my dad's memorial golf tournament, so I didn't go back on my word with that. With the attendance thing in mind, I may have been a bit vague about what they were going to be gone for and said it was a memorial for their grandpa. The next week when Bryce was looking at Power School, he was surprised to see that the Friday he was gone was an excused absence. He asked what Beaver ment was. I busted out laughing. He over and over again asked how he got excused for Beaver ment and what it was. After I got done laughing super hard, I told him that it was bereavement, and it was because I had said it was for a memorial. We both got a good laugh out of Beaver ment knowing that Grandpa Steve would be happy to help a kid out by getting them excused for Beaver ment.
