attEndancE
Regular school attendance is a major component of academic success. Any absence from
class is therefore detrimental to the learning process. The attendance policy is intended
to encourage full attendance by students and limit the level of absences, tardiness, and
early departures (ATEDs) from school. Excused ATEDs are defined as absences, tardiness,
and early departures from class or school due to personal illness, death in the immediate
family, approved family emergency, religious observance, required court appearances,
medical appointments, approved college visits, and approved school activities. All other
ATEDs are considered unexcused absences. It is the parent’s responsibility to notify the
school office within 24 hours of the reason for the ATED and to provide a written excuse
upon the student’s return to school. If after three school days the school has not been
notified to the contrary, the absence will be considered unexcused.

A student who has more than twelve (12) absences in a semester course, or twenty-four
(24) absences in a full year course, will receive no credit for that course. Being late to class
three (3) times is the equivalent of one (1) absence. students with too many absences may
appeal the loss of credit to the building principal.

purchase a lock. students have access to their lockers before school, during passing time
between classes and at the end of the school day. students are reminded to secure their

the control of the administrators and custodial staff of the building and are subject to
