Absences

Students are allowed 9 absences per semester in each class period; this includes both

excused and unexcused absences. A student is considered absent if they miss 20 or more minutes of the class. All absences must be excused by a parent or guardian within 48 hours of the absence in order to avoid a truancy. Parents or guardians can call the attendance office 24 hours a day 7 days a week to excuse absences. The direct phone number to the attendance office is 208-854-44936454. Voicemails in the attendance office are checked regularly during school hours.

Truancies

Truancies occur when absences are not excused. Reasons for truancies may include leaving campus without permission (PTL), intentionally missing class, arriving to class more than 20 minutes late without a parent/guardian excusal or any absences that is not excused within 48 hours.

If a student exceeds the allowed 9 total absences in a class during the semester they may be at jeopardy for losing credit for that class.

PTL’s (Permit to Leave)

If your student needs to leave school early for any reason they must first obtain a permit to leave (PTL). Permits to leave can be requested by a parent or guardian by calling

208-854-6114. We kindly ask that you allow at least 1 hour of notice for a PTL but more

advanced notice is always appreciated.

Tardies

Students are considered tardy if they are not seated in class when the bell rings at the

beginning of each class period up until 20 minutes into class. If a student is more than 20

minutes late they are considered absent. Please review the tardy policy in the student planners.

Be cool! Stay in school. Don’t be late. Graduate!

With the weather turning colder, we are in need of tissues for the classrooms. If you would

like to contribute and drop off tissues in the main office, we will get them to the classrooms.

Thank you in advance for your donation.
