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 (Absence-Excused)

• D (Absent w/Doctor Note-full day)

• O (Unverified-Unexcused)

• U (Unexcused)

• 5 (Late Excused Absence)

• 6 (Late Unexcused Absence)

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.

If your student is owing hour, you must reach out to your students AP for clarification and how to make up the hours.

Please contact your Assistant Principal if you have any questions.
