Absences

During virtual instruction attendance will be taken at the beginning of each live session. If you are not present, that will be noted and your parents will be called. You will have until 11:59 pm to complete the attendance measure for that day. Failure to do so will result in being recorded absent in Focus and is equal to an absence from school.

If a student is absent more than 10% of class time they will not receive credit.
