| ATTENDANCE PROCEDURES |
- 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. Please contact the attendance office with questions: 436-1305 Ext.1. Learn more...
