Attendance
Students must attend school regularly. Students are responsible for attending all classes on their program every day of the school year.
- There are six acceptable causes of absence: illness, death in the immediate family, family emergency, observance of religious holidays, circumstances which cause reasonable concern for the safety or health of the student on a case by case basis, and other situations beyond the control of the student on a case by case basis. Students who are absent for any other reason are considered truant.
- When a student is to be or has been absent from school, there is no need for the parent to phone the school to report that absence.
- Upon returning to school after an absence, the student must immediately present a note from the parent/guardian and/or doctor (if appropriate) stating the reason for the absence.
- This note must be brought to the attendance office in room 109. The Attendance coordinator will contact the parent/guardian for verification if necessary.
- Students must request class teacher approval before participating in any activity during division or class time. Deviations from this policy require prior approval of the principal.
- Students are expected to be on time for classes, division, and lunch. Tardiness will result in disciplinary action.
- Students who become ill during the school day must obtain an Early Dismissal from the Attendance Office. Students will be released to a parent/guardian with a photo I.D. only. Students cannot leave the school building during the day without an official release.
- Students who are in any place other than their assigned classes or their assigned lunch period are considered truant and may be subject to disciplinary action.
