Good
attendance and success go hand in hand. Students are expected
to attend school every day. The following is a list of legal
excuses for absences:
- Personal illness
- Death or illness in the
immediate family
- Observance of a religious
holiday
- Medical or dental appointments
(Please schedule outside of school time, when possible.)
- Quarantine
- Impassable roads
Steps
to follow when absent
- Parents or guardians should
call the school nurse before 10 a.m. on the day of
absence.
- An excuse should be sent with
the student upon return, giving the student's name, days
of absence, reasons and parent/guardian signature.
- Remember: when students are
allowed to miss school for unnecessary reasons, they are
getting the message that school is not really important.
Denial
of School Credit for Excessive Absences
If a
student is absent more than 20 times (10 for a semester
course; 5 per quarter for Physical Education), he/she may be
denied credit for courses. At a conference with the principal,
the principal will decide if extenuating circumstances justify
excessive absences, determine the conditions for the granting
of credit, or deny credit for classes.
