Excused Absences • Parents must excuse an absence within two days by written note or email. Your parents may call 693- 4442, but a note or email is still required. • Reasons include, but are not limited to, illness, observance of religious holiday, death in immediate family, and college visits (up to 5 days). • Students are responsible for making up work within the time limits established by school personnel. • Contact your assistant principal in a timely fashion if you have questions or concerns.

Unexcused Absences • Absences without parent authorization or for reasons that do not qualify as excused are unexcused . • Students with more than 5 absences in a grading period, including unexcused absences and suspensions, are subject to an “F” for that grading period. • Students with more than 10 absences in a semester, including unexcused absences and suspensions, will not receive credit for the course. • Important Note: If you are tardy to class more than 10 minutes, you are marked as an unexcused absence. This can impact your grades and credits.

Tardy  A student is tardy when he or she is not in the classroom door when the bell finishes ringing.  Any student arriving after the bell will earn a disciplinary referral and 25 demerits.
