This year parents will be advised via email of their student's excessive absences. In the past a letter was mailed home.  Parents of students with five and six absences in one block during a nine week term will be contacted. Students with six absences will not receive credit in that class. Those parents with no email availability will continue to receive letters.
Please keep in mind that when your student is absent it is the responsibility of the parents to call the school at 722-0441 within 24 hours to verify the reason for the absence. The absence is unverified without parent contact. The office is open at 6:30 a.m. to receive calls. Should the student miss class due to a doctor's appointment, please have them return with a note from the doctor.
Tardies
All high school tardies are cumulative from the beginning of the school year. Any student arriving to class after the bell without a teacher, counselor or administrator excuse will be considered tardy. Parents may excuse their student for being tardy to the first class of the day three times during the school year with no consequence. After those three are used, tardies to school will count toward the total even when they are parent-excused.  Individual teachers will handle the first two classroom tardies. Three or more unexcused tardies per school year will be handled by the administration as follows:

*The third tardy of the school year will result in a one-hour detention.
*The fourth tardy results in a two-hour detention.
*The fifth tardy will result in a three-hour detention and the student is required to call home.
*The sixth tardy results in a four-hour detention.
*The seventh tardy will result in a one-day Out of School Suspension (OSS).
*The eighth tardy results in a two-day Out of School Suspension.
*The ninth tardy will result in a short-term suspension of a minimum of five days, and an   informal hearing with the building principal will take place before the student may return to school.

Any student over 20 minutes late, without an excused pass, will be marked absent.
Please refer to page 11-12 of the student handbook for further attendance and tardy information.
Remember that you can keep track of the number of tardies your student has by checking Family Access.
