Attendance Regulations and Procedures
Authorized Absence:
If a student’s anticipated absence is going to last for five or more days (i.e. personal travel), the principal may authorize placing the student on Independent Study for the duration of the absence. The parent should contact the attendance office at least five (5) days prior to the anticipated absence to complete an Independent Study Contract. All arrangements and paperwork are to be completed prior to the absence. All coursework assigned as per the contract is to be returned to the attendance office upon the student’s return to school.
Attendance Policies
It is well established that faithful and regular attendance in school is related to student progress and achievement. In order for your child to do his or her very best, it is important that he/she be in school as many days as possible.
Since September 1998, SB727 has been in effect, which changes how schools receive funding for attendance. School funding is now based on actual attendance of students and funding will no longer be given for excused absences. The new law is intended to increase student attendance.
For both educational and financial reasons, we need your help in making sure your child has good attendance. There are times when it is necessary for a child to miss school. For example, we do not recommend that a child come to school if he or she is ill or could spread his or her illness to others. We need your help in minimizing all other absences.
Please note that parents are required to clear absences. Parents must clear absences prior to 5 days otherwise the absence will remain as uncleared and be considered a truancy. Under the law, schools must continue to track all absences and report them to the state.
Our procedure is a period by period attendance check, which is posted by each individual teacher. Each day, we know the period or periods that a student has missed. When a student is absent, students and parents should adhere to the following procedure.
