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[1] 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.[2]
