Policies

Attendance

Students are expected to be in attendance 95% of the school year. Regular attendance is essential to a student’s success in school.  Most subjects are taught in sequence, requiring the understanding of each concept in the order of its presentation. Persistent absenteeism creates a gap in the student’s acquisition of knowledge, which frequently leads to lower grades. Excessive unexcused absences are reported to truancy court.

The following reasons are the only recognized excuses for school absences:

•         Personal illness
•         Family illness
•         Religious holiday

Students must bring in a note following their absence explaining the reason for the absence.

Health  Room Hours

To help improve instructional time and decrease classroom interruptions, the following schedule will be in effect for non-emergency visits to the nurse:

Students will be seen from:

8:15 – 8:30    (For injuries that occur on the way to school)

Health screening will begin at 8:30 until 10:30 a.m.

Students may be seen at the last ten minutes of each class

period. The nurse does not treat any injuries that occur at home or

any old injuries. These are the responsibility of the parent.

The nurse will be at lunch from 1:15 – 1:45 p.m. each day.

Please send all emergencies only to the main office.

Change of Address

It is very important, for emergency and administrative reasons, that every student maintain an up-to-date address record at the school office. Notify the school immediately if you have a change of address during the school year.
