Attention Students:
Attendance is being coded on a daily basis. An absence on a hybrid day is unexcused until you submit a parent note or a medical note to the front office. If your parent calls and verifies your absence, we can also accept the phone call as a parent note.
Absences on virtual days are documented as well. If you have a situation that prevents you from meeting one of the virtual attendance requirements within 7 days, you will be marked virtually unexcused. In these circumstances, you must also provide either a parent note or a medical note to have the absence excused.
Three parent notes are allowed per semester. At 5 unexcused absences, you and your parents (or guardians) will be required to attend an attendance plan meeting. Students who miss 10% of the year (18 days or more), whether those are excused or unexcused absences, are considered chronically absent.
*Attention Faculty, Staff and Students
Pink Day will be Monday, October 26 and Friday October 30 in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Day
