Students will be allowed to make up work resulting from excused absences. All un-excused absences will result in a zero for all work missed.

IF A STUDENT EXCEEDS SEVEN ABSENCES IN ONE SEMESTER, HE/SHE COULD RECEIVE A FAILING GRADE FOR THAT SEMESTER.

Exemption Clause

The Admissions Committee has the authority to grant extension to this policy in cases of extended illness/injury or special absences. A doctor s note will be necessary in order to remain in school.


Tardy Policy

Promptness to class is very important. Excuses for chronic tardiness may not be accepted and will subject the student to discipline. Students will be marked tardy at 8:35 a.m. to encourage our students to arrive on time and their parents to get them to school on time. You will receive a tardy report when your child receives 5 tardies. Repeated absences and tardies should be referred to the principal who will report the case to the school board for consideration and to the public school authorities as required by law in the area.

Arrival Procedures

Before school care 7:00 to 8:45 will be held in the gym. The Child Care Coordinator will have students sit in designated areas. Students will not be able to enter the classroom areas until 8:15.
