2. If the absence is unexcused:
A. The student shall not be permitted to make up any missed work for a grade.
B. A grade of F or zero (0) shall be entered for each subject for each day of unexcused absence.
Absentee Homework
If a student has been absent, parents/guardians may call the school’s main office to request homework or assignments. Homework will be available in the Attendance Office 24 hours after the call.
Assignments are also typically available on individual teacher websites.
Late to School (Tardy Admit Slip)
When a student arrives to school late, he or she must report directly to the Attendance Office to obtain a tardy admit slip. The tardy will be deemed excused or unexcused according to the same guidelines listed for absences. Students who are late to school will not only be listed as tardy, but their attendance will also reflect the hours and/or minutes of tardy.
Hall Passes
It is the student’s responsibility to request a hall pass and the teacher’s obligation to see the student has a hall pass when exiting from a class. Hall passes are issued to allow students to move through the halls on official school business. Students should report to class having used the restroom, with books, materials, and assignments. All passes should have a current date, time, and name of the student. Passes must only be used for the intended reason issued and, typically, only one (1) student should be exited from a class at one time. Students are not permitted to leave class without a pass for any reason; i.e. this includes bathroom usage.
Violation will result in a “no hall” pass being issued.
Change of Address or Phone Number
If a student’s family moves to a different address or changes phone numbers during the school year, the office should be immediately advised of all changes, in writing, by a parent/guardian. All new addresses and phone numbers should be updated in Final Forms, along with home/parent email and cell phone number changes. Items required to prove residency are three proofs from the following list.
One (1) item from this list:
• Purchase/Lease Agreement signed by all parties with closing date
• Rental Agreement signed by landlord and renter along with
landlord contact information
• Construction contract signed by all concerned parties
