Attendance Procedure Change

In an effort to communicate better and promote the importance of attendance to all classes, we have made some adjustments to the attendance letters that will be sent this semester. 

• A letter will be sent home when a student has reached 3, 5 and 10 unexcused absences (TR) in one or more period. 
• An attendance failure will be determined by unexcused absences (TR) rather then overall days missed.  Students accumulating 5 unexcused absences (TR) in a quarter class or 10 in a semester class will receive an attendance failure and receive NO CREDIT. 
• A student can appeal the attendance failure to receive credit, but MUST fill out an appeal form, provide documentation of reason for unexcused absences and show a positive change in attendance in that class.

Important Reminder: The district policy states that a students absence must be cleared  within 48 hours, so it is very important that students are called in for appointments, illness etc. within 48 hours.  If a student comes late or leaves school for any reason they must check in/out at the attendance office.

If you have any questions please contact the attendance office at 436-1305 Ext.1.
