*If your student misses school due to a medical appointment, please submit a doctor’s note. Medical excused absences do not count against your student’s attendance.
Pre-Arranged Absences: Students are expected to be in school every day; however, the school recognizes that situations may arise which make absences from school unavoidable.
Pre-Planned Absence for 3+ days:
At least one full week BEFORE the planned absence:
Parent/Guardian needs to contact the office and student needs to meet with school administration.
Attendance Office / Counselors will notify student’s teachers of excused absence and provide a document to complete with student work.
The student must complete assigned work prior to returning from absence in order for the absence to be excused as alternative learning.
Arriving Tardy to School in the Morning: Students are expected to be in class on time every day including being present in Period 1 by 7:45 AM. Students arriving to school (1st Period) after 7:45 AM but before 8:00 AM will be marked TARDY. Students will be provided one warning after which they will be subject to a loss of privilege the same school day). Students who continue to be tardy to school will see elevated consequences.
Arriving Tardy to class: Students are expected to be in class on time every day and must have a pass if they are tardy to class. If a student does not have a pass, the student is considered tardy unexcused and should report to the main office for a pass. Students who are more than 15 minutes late to class are charged with an unexcused absence. Students who have two or more unexcused period tardies in a day will be subject to a loss of privileges. Continued unexcused period tardies will be subjected to progressive discipline including and up to detentions. We have instituted a monthly incentive system for those students who do not have unexcused period tardies.
Multiple Single-Day Tardies: Students who have two or more unexcused period tardies in a day will be subject to loss of privilege or an intervention. Continued unexcused period tardies will progress to loss of privileges and potentially truancy citations.
