📢 ATTENDANCE MATTERS! 📢
🚨 Did you know a student is considered CHRONICALLY ABSENT if they've missed 10% of these days?
📆 That's 18 days in the academic year! However, if you are absent 2 days a month you're on track to be chronically absent.
🩺 3 Exceptions that are EXEMPT from the 10% rule:
✅ Doctor's note (Medical, Mental, or Behavioral Health Professional)
✅ Religious Absence
✅ Our school nurse can verify illness and send a student home (fever, vomiting, etc.)
How does it impact a student?
Students that are chronically absent will not have their DMV attendance verification forms signed to receive their driving permits.
Students that are chronically absent will not be able to attend dances (Homecoming, Prom, etc.). You can file an appeal with administration for extenuating circumstances (funeral, court, etc.): https://forms.office.com/r/QEDKwHEcBx
Want a senior parking spot? Spots will go to students that are not chronically absent in ranking order.
You miss 88 minutes of classroom instruction each class period. This cannot be duplicated and causes stress for students.
🕒TARDIES
Students exceeding 11 unexcused tardies in a quarter, will lose their off-campus privileges. Students that lose their off-campus privileges will be required to check in with our Assistant Principal Mr. Culbert in the lunchroom at the beginning of the lunch period and at the end.
Let's strive for excellent attendance! 📚👩🏫👨🏫

🎉 We’re proud to celebrate a big win for our Highlander community! 🎉
Incline High School has earned a place on the AP® School Honor Roll for the 2024–25 school year! 🏅📘
This recognition highlights the outstanding work of our teachers, counselors, and staff in expanding access to AP courses and supporting students on a pathway to college success. At IHS, we believe in opening doors, raising expectations, and empowering students to challenge themselves with rigorous, college-level learning.
Research consistently shows that students who take AP courses are more likely to attend college, persist, and graduate on time—and we see that impact every day in our classrooms. Whether students earn college credit or simply build confidence through advanced coursework, AP plays a powerful role in creating a strong college-going culture at Incline High School.
👏 Huge congratulations to our students for stepping up to the challenge and to our educators for their dedication and commitment to excellence.
