ATTENDANCE POLICY
We believe and know:
Regular attendance is essential to student success;
There are many individual and confidential issues relating to student attendance that must be respected;
Students who are eighteen or over are adults and will be given the opportunity to assume responsibilities regarding their attendance.
Policies and Procedures:
Students must attend all classes and assemblies.
1. A student who is absent from school must bring a note to the main office or have a parent contact the office ahead of time. The note must indicate the date of the absence, the reason and be signed by the parent/guardian.
2. A student who must leave school during the day must bring a note to the main office or have made prior arrangements ahead of time via parent contact. The note must indicate the time of the departure and be signed by the parent/guardian. Students who are not well should report to the MAIN OFFICE. The office will contact a parent/guardian to have the student sent home or in case of an injury or more serious illness, to the hospital. It is the parents’ responsibility to transport their sick child home.
3. Students, 18 years of age or older may write their own note in explanation of absence or early departure. ADULT STATUS STUDENTS MUST NONETHELESS FOLLOW ALL SCHOOL PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN THIS HANDBOOK. The only acceptable reasons for signing out are: medical/legal appointment, illness and family emergency. ABUSE OF THIS PRIVILEGE WILL RESULT IN ITS LOSS. All notes are subject to verification.
4. All students involved in extra and co-curricular activities are expected to be performing to the best of their ability, completing required assignments with acceptable attendance and conduct. It is also the student’s responsibility to notify teachers in advance of his/her participation in such activities and is subject to their teacher’s approval.
