How to Excuse an Absence

Homework Policy

Tardy Policy

Perfect Attendance Award

  • A parent or guardian must clear absences within 24 hours. Any absence not cleared within 24 hours will be unexcused.
  • Students must check in and out through the attendance office when leaving or returning during the school day.
  • Students are entitled to make up work missed due to excused absences.
  • Consequences will be assigned for unexcused absences.
  • Grades will be affected by excessive absences.

If one of these situations arises, your parent should telephone the attendance office at 931-4886 or send a note within one (1) day of the absence. You will be given an admit slip which is shown to each teacher verifying your right to make up missed assignments. Work must be made up in order for you to receive credit. If you need to leave school during the school day, you must check out through the attendance office.

Forged Notes or False Phone Excuses:

Forged notes or false phone excuses will result in a minimum of one Friday school on the first offense. A second offense will result in a short-term suspension.
