Attendance Codes
 

Excused Absence:  Absences are excused when a doctor's appointment is scheduled, and a note is provided with a doctor's signature and date, quarantine under the direction of a county or city health officer, or a death in the immediate family, or other appropriate circumstances with appropriate documentation. All notes must include a proper signature and date.

Students are eligible for excused absences in the event of a court appearance, provided that appropriate documentation is presented. Similarly, absences for college visitation may be excused if accompanied by documentation from the respective college. Finally, students may take time off for religious holidays provided written permission is obtained from their parent or guardian and documentation is presented from the activity supervisor.

Unexcused Absence: For an absence to be excused, it is necessary to provide proper documentation with appropriate verification. For instance, if one claims to be ill, it is required to present a doctor's warranty as proof. Other reasons, such as business matters, being out of town, staying home, missing transportation, or experiencing car trouble, are not valid excuses.

Parents or guardians must notify the school in advance or the day of if the student will not attend. Administration may consider a home safety visit if we cannot connect with a parent or guardian after several unverified absences. The student will be marked as unverified. To make up class work, students should email their teachers or speak directly to them and discuss the work they still need to turn in.

The front office and Teachers will document each tardy that a student accumulates. 3 tardies = 1 Absences 

1. Arriving after the tardy bell rings, students MUST report to the front office for a late slip before class.
2. Students in class for less than 30 minutes will be marked as unexcused (UNX).
3. If proper documentation with verification is provided for late arrival, any missed class periods can be considered excused or marked as excused tardy (TDY) for that period.

Late students MUST check in at the office and obtain a time-stamped tardy pass from the staff. Only attendance personnel are authorized to grant excused tardies. Consistent tardiness could result in the start of the SARB process.

To celebrate students' academic success and positive attendance, they are rewarded by being able to attend upcoming field trips. Failure to meet one of these requirements can affect the student's eligibility to attend field trips.

If a student misses more than 6 full days or 42 class periods without a valid excuse, they will be referred to the School Attendance Review Board (SARB). On reaching 3 full school days or 21 class periods of unexcused absences, the student will be given a notice to attend Saturday School to clear up their absences.
