MHS School Attendance Policy Reminders & Attendance Effects on Final Exam Grades
As a reminder - we have an attendance policy attached to students' exam grades. For those who need a refresher on this policy in our student handbook, please read below.
If a student exceeds 10 absences in one course during a semester, excluding SE and MED, regardless of whether the absences are excused or unexcused, the student must complete the course by taking a final examination, or an alternate teacher created assessment. If the student demonstrates mastery of the course content by earning a 70% or higher on the final assessment the student may earn credit for the course. The student's final semester grade in the course will be based on the average of the two marking period grades (weighted at forty five percent each) and the final assessment (weighted at ten percent). If the student earns less than a 70% on the final examination or assessment, the student will not earn credit in the course.
Following are some general reminders for the Attendance Policy:
All absences must be verified within 48 hours (2 days) by the parent or legal guardian in order to receive an Excused absence. The Attendance Hotline number is: (989) 923-5190. It is preferred that parents/legal guardians call by noon on the day of the absence to help ensure the absence is excused the same day.
Doctor's notes to verify Medically Excused absences must be submitted to the Attendance Office within 2 weeks of the doctor's appointment and prior to exams. It is suggested that students submitting doctor's notes also have their parents/legal guardians call-in on the day of the absence. This will expedite the removal of the Unexcused absence from their record.
Students under the age of 18 that have excessive absences may be subject to a truancy petition to the Midland County Probate Court, in accordance with the protocols established by the 42nd District Court.
