G. School Attendance<br />
Academic success is closely connected with regular attendance. <strong><strong>St</strong>udent</strong>s are<br />
expected to report on time each day <strong>and</strong> to remain in school for the entire day.<br />
An absence from class can never be made up; a student always misses<br />
something by his absence.<br />
Missing the following # of classes constitutes an absence/tardy:<br />
• 1-2 (at the beginning of the school day) tardy<br />
• 1-2 (throughout day) part day absence<br />
• 3-4 part day absence<br />
• 5 or more full day absence<br />
<strong>Parent</strong>s should not allow students to stay home unless they are ill. It is the<br />
responsibility of the student to request <strong>and</strong> do the make-up work.<br />
1. Absence Procedures<br />
For every day a student is absent, a parent or guardian should notify the school<br />
switchboard (531-0330) by 9 am. If no call has been received by 9 am, the<br />
school will call parents at home/work to verify the student’s absence. When he<br />
returns to school, the student should present, before homeroom, an explanatory<br />
note from a parent or guardian to the Asst. Principal for <strong><strong>St</strong>udent</strong> Life. This note<br />
should be turned in by the second day of his return to school.<br />
Failure to turn in a note from a parent/guardian by the due date will result in<br />
demerits. Jugs will be given for failing to turn in the note every day after the<br />
due date.<br />
Forging a parent's, guardian's, or relative's signature on a note or other<br />
communication, altering a note or communication in any way, making or<br />
having someone else make a phone call to the school in which the caller falsely<br />
claims to be a parent, guardian, or other relative is illegal <strong>and</strong> dishonest.<br />
Moreover, notes written by parents giving false reasons for absences or<br />
requests to be off campus are dishonest. <strong><strong>St</strong>udent</strong>s may be suspended <strong>and</strong> be<br />
liable for dismissal for any of these offenses.<br />
