Attendance Protocols

The compulsory attendance law dictates that students attend school until age 16. It is the parent/guardian's responsibility to notify the registrar’s office of a new telephone number or change of address and to provide proof of residence for the new address. Attendance is an essential component of a student’s academic success. When students are absent or arrive late, they lose important opportunities to learn. Excessive tardiness and absences can prevent children from succeeding academically and socially.

If your student is having a hard time getting to school, please reach out to their counselor and administrator.  Contact info can be found here.
