ATTENDANCE

Attendance

Follow school policies outlined in the handbook.

Inconsistent attendance invariably leads to increased stress: too much make-up work, loss of continuity with class activities, and an inability to participate fully in class discussions. Also, many of you hold leadership positions in the school or participate in athletics, band, or drama. Learning to manage your time is essential to your success at home, in school, and at work.

For planned absences, it is highly recommended you get the work in advance and make arrangements with the teacher prior to your absence. Many assignments and resources are available online in Schoology and on the teacher’s webpage.
