Don't you think someone would notice if Summer, Qrow and Taiyang all went off somewhere at the same time, leaving Ruby and Yang behind? Yeah, they can dump them on a friend, but that's still going to raise questions. Not at all. Remember, they've got Ozpin and Ironwood covering for them. Official-looking sick notes maybe? People using Illusion Dust to mimic them for the day? Setting things up well in advance so that it isn't a 'sudden' absence but a known pattern of behaviour. Remember that Yang noted that Summer often left on missions; it also looks like Qrow and Taiyang have a tendency to wander off during term times too and Raven was officially AWOL for some time, possibly on a deep-cover mission.

It is quite easy to do, really and, in narrative terms, might even be important to the story but we'll have to see if it turns out that way.
