an acceptable make-up due date validated by all of the student's teachers. This is then turned in to the
attendance secretary. It is mutually understood that the sole responsibility for the completion of the
advance absence notice and the make-up of classroom work belongs to the student.

D. DOCTOR/DENTAL APPOINTMENTS
When a student needs to leave the building for a scheduled appointment, a written parent request should
be presented to the Attendance Office before homeroom on the day of the appointment.

1. Students must be signed in and out of the building by a parent/guardian at the attendance office.
2. Students returning to school with a doctor’s note may sign themselves back in at the Attendance
Office without a parent.

A doctor’s note will be required upon return to school for an absence or to be excused for a
medical appointment.

E. ABSENCES RELATING TO ATHLETICS AND AFTER-SCHOOL EVENTS
Students must be in attendance at school at least one-half of the day in order to participate in after-school
or evening activities/events. If a student is arriving late, s/he must sign-in to school by 11:20am, or if a
student is signing out, s/he must be present for a total of at least 3.5 hours of the school day.

BOOKBAGS / BACKPACKS

As we strive for a positive transition from elementary to middle school to high school, we are focused on
helping students learn strategies to manage their time and materials effectively. Students may bring a
backpack to school and keep it in their locker; backpacks are not permitted in class due to space
limitations. During the school day, students may choose to carry a drawstring bag.
