Absences • A student must be present for two consecutive hours of the school day to be counted as present. Therefore, if a student is signed out before 10:35am, it will be counted as an absence. • Every absence must be followed by a written note from home no later than 3 days after the student returns to school. The note must include the following information: • Student’s name and ID number • Date (s) of absence • Reason for absence • Parent’s signature • Unexcused absences warrant a "Z" for any missed assignments • Excused absences allow 3 days to make up missed assignments
• Attendance monitoring • five (5) or more consecutive absences (excused and/or unexcused) within a nine-week grading period • five (5) or more unexcused absences in a semester • seven (7) or more cumulative absences (excused or unexcused) at any point in the school year. • Parents/guardians will receive a phone call, attendance notice, and/or letter. If students continue to accumulate absences (excused and/or unexcused) a formal meeting will be conducted at the school site and may warrant referral to the District’s Truancy Intervention Program. • Students accumulating 10 or more absences during the school year must seek a doctor’s note for all future absences for the absences to be considered excused. Failure to submit a doctor’s note for every absence thereafter will result in the absence being marked unexcused.
• A letter will be sent home advising parents/guardians of excessive tardies after a student accumulates 10 tardies. A student will be excluded from extra-curricular activities such as Reward Day, field trip after accumulating 15 or more tardies. • “Chips” for daily attendance are awarded to students who come to school on time. • Daily attendance drawings are conducted during the morning announcements for various prizes. Regular attendance in school is considered an important factor in ensuring your child’s academic success. Please help us to make sure your child is in school daily and on time.
Discipline Plan • A Behavior Plan letter was sent home on the first day of school which had a portion on the bottom that needed to be cut and returned to school. • Students that misbehave in the classroom will go home with a Questionable Behavior form that they fill out and must be returned with the parent’s signature.
