Attendance
1. Attendance at school EVERY DAY is vital for the academic success of your child. Please make every effort to ensure your child’s attendance at school. IBES will follow the VPSB Attendance Policy which is found in the front part of this Student/Parent Handbook.
2. An elementary student can miss no more than 12 school days per year to be eligible for promotion. Exceptions can be made only in the event of extended personal illness as verified by a physician and/or other extenuating circumstances approved by the principal
3. Excuses must be written by a parent/guardian or physician and returned to Mrs. Honey in the office within 5 days of the student's return to school. Parent excuses are counted against the attendance requirement. After 3 parent excuses, the parent will meet with the principal or her designee to discuss attendance issues. After the 5th unexcused absence the parent/ student may be referred to TASC or FINS.
4. Tardiness to school: Students who arrive at school after 8:10 a.m. are tardy and therefore MUST be signed in at the office by the person bringing him.
5. Excessive unexcused and/or unwarranted absences or tardies or early sign-outs shall be reported to the Vermilion Parish TASC force and the Vermilion Parish Supervisor of Child Welfare and Attendance. We will comply with VPSB and state policies regarding this.
