Attendance

Absences

  • Please contact our attendance office directly to report an absence.  Absences must be reported by a parent or guardian within 24 hours of the absence.

    Excessive absences due to illness must be verified with a doctor's note.  Vacation time that exceeds the alloted absences per term/semester must be approved BEFOREHAND by administration.  

    If a student exceeds 5 absences in a term or 10 absences in a semester, he/she may lose credit in that class.  If a student loses credit due to excessive absences, a letter will be mailed home explaining the reason for the loss of credit as well as the procedure to appeal.
