CLASS ATTENDANCE, LEAVING SCHOOL
Students are required to attend all scheduled classes. If a student is absent from class, and the name does not appear on the absence list, the teacher sends a report of this absence to the office. Cutting of any class or lunch period, skipping school and/or leaving school or class without permission will not be tolerated and offenders will be disciplined. Such infractions may result in the following discipline being issued:
1st Offense = 2-day In-School Assignment
2nd Offense=3-dayIn-SchoolAssignment
3rd Offense = 4-day In-School Assignment with discipline progressing for
future offenses.
TRUANCY
Truancy is a non-sanctioned student absence from school whereby the home and the school has not approved the absence in advance. Violation of this rule may result in the following discipline issued:
1st Offense = 2-day In-School Assignment
2nd Offense=3-dayIn-SchoolAssignment
3rd Offense = 4-day In-School Assignment with discipline progressing for
future offenses.
NURSING SERVICES, ILL OR INJURED STUDENTS
There is a nurse available in the school district and is on call throughout the week for emergencies. She will be in the high school part of the time. A student who becomes ill or is injured during the school day should obtain a pass to the office from the classroom teacher. Students must have teacher permission to leave class at all times. If the student is ill or injured enough to be sent home, the nurse or secretary will call home. However, if no one is home, the student will remain at school until his/her parent or guardian has been contacted. No student is to remain out of class in a restroom or other unsupervised area because of illness or injury. They are to report to the office immediately. Violators of this rule may be considered truant and disciplined accordingly. Be sure that the office has a phone number where parents/guardians can be reached in an emergency.
