Attendance Information
Compulsory School Attendance Law:
Students must be in attendance 90% of the time in order to obtain credit for a course (pending that they have a passing average) regardless of absences being excused or unexcused. Students that miss more than 10% (approximately 8 days per semester) of a class will be required to attend Saturday school during the spring semester at $10 per Saturday to make-up missed class time in an effort to recover course credit.Truancy:
Students MUST bring a parent or doctor note upon return from any absence for all or any part of the day for it to be considered excused. If a note is not turned, the absence is considered unexcused. Unexcused absences result in a 30% grade reduction for any missed assignments as well as truancy prevention measures to be implemented. Excessive unexcused absences will result in a complaint filed with the Justice of Peace Court.
