That's the slang. The formal term is אי-נוכחות בשיעורים

Eynnat
: These are far more slangy than the English terms. I didn't 'disagree' - it says 'NEUTRAL' quite clearly, + my input is clearly shown below. Is it a reading problem, or plain old-fashioned rudeness?

And your input is? (apart from disagreeing?) Mind you, I did give both the slang and the formal terms whereas you gave none.

להסתלק משיעור
The phrases already given are correct as such, but very much more slangy than 'cut or skip class'. We used the one I gave above, and also
להתחמק משיעור
לפספס שיעור

שרה הבריזה שיעורים is something no teacher would ever write in a student's report, whereas 'Sarah has skipped classes' is normal in such a report.
אי-נוכחות is missing a class which is not as intentional as 'skipping' is. You've got it all wrong, Iris.

LOL. What about להסתלק - is that also unintentional? That's what we called it in Jm, I assure you. And you need to learn to disagree courteously, dear.
