Attendance Policies and Information
Excused Absences – State Approved; EC 48205
- Student illness or injury
- Student medical/dental appointments
- Death in the immediate family; 1 day in state, 6 days out-of-state
Unexcused Absences – School Approved
- Serious illness of a family member, which necessitated the absence of the student.
- Justifiable personal reasons including, but not limited to:
appearance in court, observance of a holiday of his/her religion, employment conference, and such other absences as the principal may consider justifiable when requested in writing in advance.
Unexcused absences are those which do not come under any of the definitions of excused absences. Students who have unexcused absences may be denied makeup privileges. Such absences may be reflected in the student’s final grade.
Making Up Assignments and Exams
Students with excused or school-approved unexcused absences shall be allowed to make up assignments and tests in a timely manner; full credit shall be given upon completion. It is the responsibility of the student/parent to ask the teacher for missed work upon returning from an absence.
Truancy
Pupils subject to compulsory full-time education or to compulsory continuing education shall be considered truant for the following reasons:
- Absent/tardy from school without valid excuse more than 3 days more than 5 excused absences
- Tardy to school in excess of 30 minutes on each of more than three days in one school year
- Truancy shall be reported to the attendance supervisor or the principal and you will be required to go before the SARB committee after 15 unexcused absences.
Tardy
A student is tardy if they arrive to school after the bell rings at 9:00am. A tardy, excused or unexcused, must be explained by a note from parent/guardian.
Continued tardiness on the part of any student will be viewed as a very serious matter and will be reported to the school attendance review board.
Early Outs
Parents are required to sign their student out for medical, dental or other appointments that will require them to leave school early. Office personnel will verify that you are authorized to pick up the child and will call students up to the office for pick up.
If possible, medical and dental appointments should be scheduled after school.
Excused Absences
In order for an absence to be cleared, parents/guardians should call the school office on the day of the absence and send a note within 3 days to inform the school of the student’s absence. Parent notes will only be accepted for the first 10 absences; exceeding this, a doctor’s note or school site verification may be required.
Late Pick-Up
Students are dismissed promptly at 3:20pm, Mondays through Friday with the exception of early release on Wednesdays with a 2:15 p.m. dismissal. Any student not picked up by 3:40 p.m. will be brought to the school office and will wait in the school office until parent/guardian arrives to sign them out. The school office will begin to call parent/guardian to remind him/her that they need to come into the office and sign their child out. If parent/guardian cannot be reached, the office staff will begin to call designated individuals on the child’s emergency card.
