Attendance Policy and Procedures

Policy:

Regular attendance is a vital factor in student learning; if you are not present in class, you are missing work. To earn credit, you must be present in class on a regular basis. This means that if you are absent from this class 4 times in a quarter, you receive no credit for the quarter.


People who are illegally absent from class will be charged with that absence. Nevertheless, students are encouraged to make up work when illegally absent for their own understanding of later activities in the course. Illegal absences lead to no credit for the quarter.


People who are legally absent from class (medical, guidance, nurse, music lesson, etc.) are required to make up the work missed or will be charged with an illegal absence. Failure to make up class work leads to no credit for the quarter.


An unverified absence means that the school did not know where you were when you were not in class. An unverified absence is an illegal absence. Absence notes are required when you are absent from school.  It is your responsibility to correct any unverified absences.

Make Up Work Procedure:

 
1. Find out what you missed by consulting another student, the homework board in class, the "Week at a Glance" records on the bulletin board, and/or click here for the online copy of Week At A Glance12 or Week At A Glance 9-1.

 
2. Place the original due date and the present date on the assignment.  Place the completed work in your grade level basket on the window ledge.  I will empty the basket and check due dates daily.
