Attendance Policies

Documentation

Written documentation of each excused absence must be received within two (2) days of the student's return to school; otherwise, the absence will be considered unexcused.Each semester, a parent/guardian may excuse up to

five days(5)of absences for a student by providing written notes. Each note must contain the excusable reason for the absence(s), the dates of the absences(s), and must be signed and dated by the parent/guardian.After the student has five(5)absences excused by parental/guardian notes in a semester, the student must provide “official” documentation (for example, documentation by a doctor or court); otherwise, the absence will be considered unexcused.

Making Up Work Tests Missed While Absent

It is the student's responsibility to consult each teacher and make arrangements to complete make

-up work upon returning to school. The time allowed for make-up work to be completed will be equal to the number of days a student was absent (i.e., a student who misses two (2) days of school will have two (2) days to complete   all work.) Any work not made up during this time will result in a grade of ZERO(0). Additionally, all work made up as a result of an unexcused absence will result in a grade of NO MORE than 50. If a student is in class when work or a test is assigned, the student will be REQUIRED to turn in the assignment(s) or take any tests on the first day the student returns to school.
