להבריז שיעור, להתחפף משיעור and in my time (4 decades ago) it was simply לא ללכת לשיעור

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

להסתלק משיעור

Explanation:
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.
