V. Attendance PoliciesAbsence from SchoolFollow these procedures if an absence occurs: A note from the parent/guardian is necessary to excuse any absence. The note is required the day the student returns to school. A physician’s note is required for any absence of three (3) or more consecutive days due to illness. Notes for absences should be given to the school office. The school office will verify notes excusing absences, tardies, and early departures. All notes must include the following information: student name, grade, date(s) of absence, reason for absence, parent/guardian work and home numbers, parent/guardian signature. There are only five (5) reasons for school absence which are recognized as excused absences: Personal illness/quarantine, death in the family, professional services in connection with student health and welfare, family emergency, and necessary absences approved in advance by an administrator. Absences for vacations are unexcused. If a student misses 20 days of school in the year, automatic retention may be recommended due to a loss of academic knowledge. TruancyA student who is absent from school without lawful cause is considered truant. Truancy (illegal absence from school) and cutting classes are serious infractions and will result in immediate disciplinary actions. Pre-Arranged AbsencesIf a student plans to be absent ahead of time, the parent/guardian should notify the school receptionist at least three (3) days in advance, stating the reason for absence (i.e.: doctor’s visits, etc.). Every effort should be made to schedule appointments before or after the school day. It is then the parent/student’s responsibility to approach their teachers concerning missed work and submit the assignments or make necessary arrangements for missed quizzes and tests before the day of absence. Late Arrival/TardinessIt is crucial for parents to get their child to school on time. When a student misses the beginning activities and lessons, it disrupts their learning process. The student is expected to be in the homeroom and seated before 8:00 am so as not to be counted tardy. Between 8:00 and 8:15 am, students should report directly to class. The teacher will count them as tardy. If the student arrives after 8:15, they are to go directly to the school office at the main entrance to sign in and receive a pass to class. If your child is coming to school late, please have your child bring a note giving the reason for being tardy. Remember that four (4) tardies can equal one (1) absence. Early DepartureFor security and safety reasons, students may not be excused without a note written and signed by the parent or guardian. Notes for early departure from school must be received in the school office by 9:00 that morning. Upon returning, the student must sign in at the school office. Students must enter and exit out of the main entrance only. VI. School PoliciesSchool Dress CodeAll students are expected to be in proper dress at all times on school property. Students should arrive and depart from school in correct dress.
