Hours and Attendance
Attendance Policies and Procedures
Consistent, on-time daily attendance is crucial for student success, fostering academic achievement, essential skills, and critical thinking. In-classroom interaction with teachers and peers is indispensable and cannot be replicated through make-up work.
Excusing your student
Notification must come from a custodial parent/guardian within 48 hours of the absence. Please Record all absences with the form linked in ParentSquare. To log in, download the app or click on this link ParentSquare. Handwritten notes are acceptable as well.
Signing In and Out of School
Students must submit notes to the office before their first class to receive passes for early dismissal. Families should avoid calling for same-day early release unless it's an emergency. Parental permission is required for sign-outs. Students must sign in when late, returning from appointments, or leaving the building during the day (unless for an off-campus class). Ill students must report to the health office. They may leave after the nurse contacts a parent or guardian.
Attendance Related to Athletics and Activities -
Coach will provide excused list, no need to send a note
Students need to attend at least two hours of school (end of day) to practice or participate in games and must be on time for school the day after a road game or trip.Making up Work
Students have two days per excused absence to make up missed work, including tests and quizzes. Failure to do so may result in no credit. Extensions may be granted by the principal or teacher for extended illness or extenuating circumstances.
Daily attendance and punctuality are crucial for student success. Half the students who miss 2-4 days in September go on to miss nearly a month of school. Chronic absence, missing 10% of school (about 18 days), negatively impacts academic performance, regardless of whether absences are excused or unexcused.
We are here to help your students succeed. Contact the school with any questions or for support in ensuring your student attends school on time daily.
