Extended AbsencesIf a student is seriously ill or is required to be absent for an extended period of time, please see the Guidance Counselor to discuss ways to make-up missed work. Students who have an illness or disability that requires them to miss 10 or more consecutive days may be placed on Hospital/Homebound. Contact the Guidance Counselor for forms to be completed prior to being placed on Hospital/Homebound. Monitoring/Notification of Tardiness and AbsenteeismStudents in grades 6 – 12 will have their tardies and absences monitored by the Director for Student Life. This falls under Rule 1—Unexcused Tardiness and Absenteeism in the Code of Discipline. Parents will be notified of excessive tardies and absences and on referrals which result in consequences. Such notices will be documented by the school. Other Consequences for AbsenteeismDue to Compulsory Attendance laws, students who miss more than 20 days in a school year may be subject to truancy proceedings by the school and local authorities. Students in K4-5th grade who accumulate more than 20 absences in a school year will not be promoted. Extenuating circumstances will be handled on an individual basis by following the Student Appeal process A high school student who has more than ten unlawful absences in one school semester will be reported to the Department of Motor Vehicles, possibly resulting in the loss of his/her license Daily Arrivals and DeparturesThe cafeteria/gym will be open and staff will be on duty to accept students for early arrival beginning at 7:15 each morning. Students will be escorted from the cafeteria to the classrooms at 7:50 am each day. After 7:50 a.m. K-3 through 5th grade should be dropped off under the awning closest to the gym. All other grades should be dropped off in the front of the school. Families with multiple grade levels should drop off under the side awning if one of the siblings is in K-3 through 5th. Please note there are three lanes of traffic in front of the school. The inside two lanes are for drop off and the outside lane is for traffic. Please do not park in either lane. If you have to come inside, please park in a parking spot. Students who are not picked up by 3:25 will be escorted to After School Care and charged accordingly. If a student is still on campus after 3:30, RTCA is no longer liable for that student unless the student is involved in an extracurricular activity. Students are not allowed on campus after 3:30 unless involved in an extracurricular activity. Absence for Part of the Day and Early DeparturesA request from parents to excuse a student from one or more classes during 1st – 4th periods must be delivered to the office before first period. Parents providing transportation must come in to the office to sign the student out of school. High school students who drive may sign themselves out provided they have a signed note from a parent to the office before first period. Students must sign out when leaving campus and sign in when returning to school. Students who do not sign in when returning to campus may be counted absent for the remainder of the day. Students may not sign out for lunch. Due to the high volume of checkouts during 5th, 6th, and 7th period, only students with written excuses for doctor’s appointments or students who have submitted a Prearranged Absence Form (or available in the school office) at least one week prior to the date of early pick up will be allowed to be picked up. Extenuating circumstances will be handled on an as needed basis. These early checkouts are a constant interruption to classes that are in progress. Please be mindful of this, and only pick up your child early in the circumstances described in the above paragraph. Perfect AttendanceIn order for a student to receive a perfect attendance award, the student must be in school every day with no tardies or early dismissals. Students who are participating in school sponsored events, field trips, approved college visits or athletic participation will not be counted absent. Attendance awards will be presented at an Honors Ceremony. Sickness and AccidentsStudents who have a fever or may have an illness that is contagious should not be sent to school. Should a student become ill during the day, he/she should request permission of the classroom teacher or staff member to come to the office. Parents will be called when their children have a fever or feel they are too sick to be at school. Before the student signs out, a parent must be notified through the office by telephone that the student is leaving the campus. Transportation will be provided only in emergencies. Accidents occurring while on campus should be reported to a staff member. First aid supplies are available in the office. Faculty or staff will take proper steps to handle emergency situations when a student needs medical attention. Parents will be called. Hospital HomeboundStudents who have an illness or disability that requires them to miss 10 or more consecutive days will be placed on Hospital/Homebound once the proper paperwork is completed and approved. These absences are not bound to the regular attendance policy. Contact the Guidance Counselor for forms. MEDICATIONIf exceptional circumstances exist in which a student is required to take prescription medicine during school hours, only a member of administration may administer the medicine. All medicine must be presented in a prescription labeled bottle. Students may not keep medication on their person during the school day. Students may keep asthma medicine and EpiPens on their person and assume the responsibility of such. Written instructions signed by the parent must be turned in with the medication and must include student name, name of medication, time medication is to be administered, required dosage, and a list of possible side effects of medication. Parents/guardians assume responsibility for informing the school of any change in the student’s health or change in medication. The school retains the right to reject requests for the administration of medication for a sufficient cause. The front office will administer over the counter medications in accordance with parent permission. The medications must be listed on the medication form that may be obtained from the front office.
