Attendance--What is the Difference Between Excused and Unexcused?
Excused absences: personal illness, family funerals, medical appointments, court appointments with a subpoena, church/religious trips with documentation, and family emergencies with explanation.
Unexcused absences: family trips, car trouble/flat tire, missing the bus/ride, oversleeping,, caring for a sibling, busy traffic, court appointments for traffic violations, notes without all pertinent information, and of course, a confirmed truancy.
The accrual of multiple unexcused absences will result in a parent conference, a warning notice, and possibly, legal action. In addition, juniors and seniors will not qualify for off campus lunch if they have any unexcused absences.
Attendance Recovery
Semester Exams
Students will not be allowed to take any semester exams early. If you have planned an absence that cannot be avoided, you will be given a grade of 11 for the exam. You will need to schedule a make-up time with your teacher after the holiday break. This will affect your GPA and rank, as your grade will have to be updated later.
