AttendanceInstruction begins at 8:15 a.m. Punctuality is expected of our students. Please commit to having your child(ren) to school on time. Tardiness denies students the opportunity to maximize instructional time. Late arriving students disrupt their class and the ongoing instruction. Each quarter students will be recognized for outstanding attendance. To receive this honor they shall have no more than 2 tardies/absences, combined. Parents of students who receive their 5th tardy, per quarter, will receive a written notice from the administration, followed by verbal contact. A student will be suspended for 2 days following his/her 9th tardy per quarter. Upon receiving their 12th tardy per quarter, the student will be suspended for a minimum of 4 days. Reentry to school will be granted following a successful meeting between the parents and school board. Should the need arise for a student to be absent for multiple days (i.e. vacations), we expect the student to dutifully work toward as much completion of the assigned materials as possible during his/her absence. The parents are to notify the teacher in advance, so as much class work as is reasonable can be assigned and sent with the student. Learning is more than doing an assignment. Learning goes beyond written work (i.e., discussions, interactive group activities, critical think times, behavioral training, etc.). Many things learned in school cannot be made up. Any time a student is absent from the classroom, part of the academic learning process will not be retrievable. Parents are encouraged to use much discretion when removing their child(ren) from the classroom. Teachers will do their reasonable best to help toward completion of makeup work. However, the responsibility rests with the parents and student. Any time a student will be leaving school other than at the regular dismissal time, a signed note from parents should be sent with the student to notify the teacher so he/she can plan accordingly. Also, when you pick up your student, please go to the office to sign your student out. If a student will be
leaving school with someone besides the parent, written and signed permission
needs to be sent by the parent. The individual (if unfamiliar to the staff)
must present picture identification. |
