Attendance Policy

Basic BeliefsBasic BeliefsWhen a student misses class, either excused or unexcused, they miss important information

Teachers should have several graded assignments each day (formative/summative assessment).

Each class period should begin with a graded bell-ringer that cannot be made up unless the tardy is excused by either the front office, or the previous period teacher.

A student’s excused absences must be allowed to be made up—two school days. Students are responsible to get make up work from the teacher by the next time

they are in class—a class website where students can go to get the work is advisable.

When a student is tardy for or misses class, that student must make up the deficiency.

Tardy (less that 15 minutes late) = 15 minutes of detention Late Tardy (more than 15 minutes but less than 30 minutes late) = 30 minutes of

detention Unexcused absence or sluff = 60 minutes of detention.
