ATTENDANCE PROCEDURES

Parents are expected to report an absence to the attendance office on the day of the absence. If a parent fails to call on the day of the absence, two days will be allowed to excuse or explain the unexcused absence before the absence is permanently recorded as unexcused. Parents are encouraged to utilize the parent portal for monitoring student attendance.

Students are expected to obtain make-up work from teachers on the first day they return to the class and to complete the work within the agreed-upon timelines. Students will be allowed a maximum of two days from the day they are notified to clear any questionable unexcused absences.

The School will make every effort to notify parents by phone, e-mail, or mail when their child has had three and five non-school related absences during the trimester. But, failure to do so will not ensure that the student will receive credit when a student has accumulated nine or more nonschool related absences in a trimester. Credit for that class will not be earned unless a parental appeal is successful.
