Complete NHS information will be available in September. Until then, please keep in mind that a student must be a sophomore in order to participate. Any sophomore who is interested is encouraged to begin volunteer work in the community. There is not a specific required documentation form for hours. Please get a SIGNED note from the organization director that indicates the date, hours worked, and a brief description of duties. Please include contact information for the organization. Keep all documentation for your records and for submission to NHS. If you have any questions, please contact Blythe Wren-Barajas at Blythe.wrenbarajas@pisd.edu.
8. ATTENDANCE PROCEDURE FOR 2016-2017 SCHOOL YEAR
Parent notes: A student has up to (3) three days after an absence to turn in a parent/doctor note in order to receive an excused absence. The not should include the students name, ID number, reason and dates of the absence. A parent call does not excuse the absence.
Leaving school ill: If a student becomes ill while at school, he/she should go to the nurse's office. The nurse will contact the parents. The student and parent must then sign out at the attendance office before leaving. A student should not call/text you from their cell phone to tell you they are sick and to pick them up. Cell phone use is not allowed during class time. We have a phone available for students in the front office.
Doctor/Dental appointments: If your student must leave school early, PLEASE send a note with him/her to that he/she can be released from class. The student can sign out and wait for you in the front office. A doctor's note is required when the student returns to school. The state requires us to have a doctor's note when a student is gone for an appointment.
Other absences: Non-School activities must be pre-approved by the principal in order for the student to make up missed work. The Student Absence Request Form is available in the front office and on the Clark website in the FORMS section. The form needs to be filled out and turned in to the attendance office at least a week before the absence.
REMEMBER - NOTES CAN PREVENT UNEXCUSED ABSENCES!
