Attendance

Elementary attendance is recorded once per day in the morning. Grades 5-12 attendance is recorded per class period.

Any student missing school without parental permission will be considered truant and subject to disciplinary action.

If the student has received attention from a medical professional, a doctor’s note is requested when the student returns to school. 

In the interests of student safety, parents should notify the school by 9:00 the morning the student is absent via e-mail. All notifications should be sent to attendance@lccs.org. 

An absence due to participation in school-related activities is considered a school-related absence and is not counted in the total number of absences allowed. 

Excessive absences or tardies could impact tuition assistance awards in subsequent years.

A student who misses more than 15 minutes of a class period is considered absent.

Any student who is tardy to 3 class periods will receive a detention and the 3 tardies equal 1 absence.

Students who miss more than nine periods of any one course in either semester will not receive credit for the course unless it is restored by administration or Saturday School is attended. 

In compliance with ACSI requirements, once the student reaches 9 absences, the administration will review cases to determine whether Buy-Back school or further consequences are necessary. Only serious conditions, such as extended illnesses, that are well documented by a medical professional will merit consideration. 

Buy-Back School (Saturday School) is offered multiple times throughout the school year. Saturday School can be utilized by administration for making up hours and disciplinary purposes.

Excessive absences or tardies could impact tuition assistance awards in subsequent years.

In order to participate in after school athletic events and/or extra-curricular activities, students must be in attendance for at least four class periods on the day of the event.
