District Attendance Policy

1. Tardies - Punctuality is necessary for a student to take full advantage of available educational opportunities. If a student is not in the classroom when the tardy bell rings, he/she will be classified as tardy. A tardy to school will become an absence if more that 50% of the school day is missed. A parent(s)/guardian(s) request for early release will be an unexcused absence unless the release is for verified medical, dental treatment or other reasons defined for excused absence by the School Board. NO LONGER the POLICY REMOVED COMPLETELY

2. Unexcused Absences - Parent(s)/guardian(s) can excuse up to five (5) days per semester (half a year) by providing a written and signed note(s) with reason of absence within two (2) days of the student's return to class. This shall also include prearranged absences. Extenuating circumstances may be addressed with the administration. The following absences are excused
