Parents, please remember that you may drop off between 7:35-7:55 at the back doors. After 7:55, they need to come through the front door. Any student who arrives after 8:00 is tardy. Our tardy/leaving early policy is:
1st and 2nd - Warning
3-5 Detention
6-8 Detention and Parent Meeting
9-11 Saturday School
12+ ISS
The following information on attendance is located in our student handbook.
We have a group of students with a large number of absences, so we wanted to remind all about our policies.
Attendance Documentation after an Absence (All Grade Levels)
A parent must provide an explanation for any absence upon the student’s arrival or return to
school. The student must submit a note signed by the parent. The campus may accept a phone call from the parent but reserves the right to require a written note.
The campus will document in its attendance records whether the absence is excused or
unexcused.
Note: The district is not required to excuse any absence, even if the parent provides a note
explaining the absence, unless the absence is an exemption under compulsory attendance
laws.
Doctor’s Note after an Absence for Illness (All Grade Levels)
Within 3 days of returning to school, a student absent for more than 3 consecutive days
because of a personal illness must bring a statement from a doctor or health clinic verifying the illness or condition that caused the absence. Otherwise, the absence may be considered
unexcused and in violation of compulsory attendance laws. Should the student develop a questionable pattern of absences, the principal or attendance committee may require a statement from a doctor or health clinic verifying the illness or condition that caused the absence to determine whether an absence will be excused or unexcused.
