Attendance Policy

Students are expected to attend school each day. The school year consists of 180 days for students. High school students must attend 85 days of each 90-day semester to receive one unit of credit. They must attend 170 days through the course of the school year to receive one unit of credit; however, they must attend 85 days for a semester course. When a student is absent from school parents are expected to provide the school notification as to the reason the student was absent. In high schools, credit will be denied in courses when a student accumulates an excess of ten (10) absences in a full year class or (5) absences in a semester class. High school credit for a course/class will be awarded or denied based on attendance in that class.

Students will receive ten (10) days after the student returns to school to make up missing work. Under extenuating circumstances students may be granted additional days to make up work when approved by the teacher and principal. If work is not made up to the satisfaction of school administration in the ten days after returning to school, students may receive a zero (0) for each assignment missed.

A student shall be dropped from membership on the day when the number of unexcused absences exceeds ten (10) consecutive days.
