Attendance
Attendance in school is vital for a successful education. When students miss school, they miss the following: direct teacher instruction, clarifying homework questions or due dates, working with peers on projects and assignments, developing ideas, receiving help and feedback from others, creating, analyzing, and using high order thinking skills etc.
- To report an absence, a parent / guardian must call before 8:25 a.m. the morning of the absence. Students have 24 hours to clear their absences.
- If an absence is not cleared, students are required to bring a note to the attendance office before 8:20 a.m. the morning they return to school.
- If an absence is not verified by a parent / guardian phone call stating the reason for the absence, within the 24 hour period, the absence will be automatically recognized as a truancy. Students will be required to serve the consequences.
