Hours Owed

Any student who does not attend 90% of the days a class is offered (excused or unexcused) will be required to make-up attendance hours. Hours are calculated by class, by semester.  A student cannot miss a class period more than four times per semester.  Once a student misses their 5th class period, they owe 1.5 hours for every additional missed class.

The following Attendance Codes generate hours owed:

• A (Parent Note Absence-Excused) 

• D (Doctor Note - Full Day Absence) 

• O (Unverified-Unexcused) *

• U (Unexcused) * 

What is the difference between owing hours and truancy?
Owing hours will determine whether or not a Student received credit for their courses. 

Truancy determines whether or not a student is meeting the required attendance laws.

Please contact your Assistant Principal if you have any questions.
