Attendance

Attendance

Attendance is critical to success in high school. One 90-minute class is equal to two classes on a 6-7 period schedule. By state law, a student must attend 85 out of 90 class days in order to be considered for credit. Students are required to continue attending classes even if credit has been denied. If a student fails a course due to excessive absences, an FA will be recorded on his or her transcript. The grade of FA will carry no Carnegie units but will be calculated as a 50 in the student’s GPA.  Remember, only 5 unexcused absences are allowed in a 90-day course and only 3 unexcused absences are allowed in a 45-day course. 

Attendance Recovery

1. Students may be granted the opportunity to recover credit for a course that they would have passed if not due to missing too many unexcused days.

2. Up to three days can be recovered.  

3. Tuition will be charged per make-up class due at the time of make-up.
