Attendance is, first and foremost, a safety issue.
Remote Learning Attendance:
Study Hall: Remote Students do NOT need to check in on Hangouts or use E-Hallpass. Teachers will mark students with "REM" for REMOTE if their cohort is not onsite for that particular day.
Lunch: At-home students do
NOT need to sign in for advisory lunch.
Sick: If you are sick and unable to log in for classes, a parent/guardian still needs to call the Main Office to mark you absent. Your parent/guardian may then receive a followup call from the YHS School Nurse.
Excused Absence/Tardy: According to Maine State Law, Absences and Tardies can be excused for the following reasons:
1) personal illness.
2) appointments with health professionals which cannot be scheduled outside the regular school day.
3) observance of recognized religious holidays when the observance is required during a regularly scheduled school day.
4) emergency family situations.
5) visitation to schools for purpose of transfer or college admission - 3 days maximum may be used for this purpose.
6) planned family absences.
7) educational disruption caused by a student's homelessness, unplanned hospitalization, or placement in foster care or a youth development center.
Unexcused Absence/Tardy: Anything outside the area of excused absence/tardy (i.e. driver's education) is
unexcused. Students should not be working during school hours, and whenever possible appointments should be made after school.
