Attendance Policies

If a student has to leave school during his or her scheduled classes:

The student must SIGN OUT at the Attendance Office. The student must have parental permission in the form of a note or a phone call received at the Attendance Office before the student leaves the premises. Reasons for signing out must be deemed legitimate by the Principal or Vice Principal; if the student is 18 years of age or older, he or she must produce a written appointment slip or parental permission. Students are asked to schedule appointments after 2:32 when possible. Driver’s Ed instruction must take place outside class time.

If a student misses a test or assignment because of truancy:

The student will receive a mark of zero for the evaluation skipped. The student is responsible to inform him or herself of the work missed and to make up work missed when he/she is not present. Lateness, sleeping in or missing the bus are examples of truancy.

If a student becomes ill during school hours:

The student must report to the Attendance Office for assistance.

When a student returns to school after missing scheduled class time:

Students must always sign in at the Attendance Office with the Student Handbook to be admitted to classes. Reasons for signing in must be deemed legitimate by the Principal or Vice Principal.
