Absence Information: According to Senate Bill 1, students must be in attendance 90% of the year in order to receive credit for that year. |
Absence Notes: Upon returning to school from any absence, the student must report to his/her teacher with a note signed by the parent/guardian stating the date and nature of the absence. WE MUST HAVE A NOTE SIGNED BY THE PARENT OR GUARDIAN AFTER EACH ABSENCE, EVEN IF THE PARENT OR GUARDIAN HAD CALLED IN THE ABSENCE. THIS IS TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH DISTRICT POLICY AND STATE LAW. TO CALL THE SCHOOL AND NOTIFY US OF AN ABSENCE, PLEASE CALL 469-713-5960 CHOOSE OPTION #2 -LEAVE THE STUDENT'S NAME, TEACHER'S NAME , DATE AND REASON FOR ABSENCE. |
Make-up Work: Students are expected to complete assignments and class work missed due to absences. At least one day for each day of absence will be allowed for turning in make-up work. Students are responsible for gathering all missed assignments and making up the work within the specified time, but if more time is needed, please consult the teacher as early as possible. |
Excessive Absences: Although students should not attend school when they are sick, it is the parent's legal responsibility to see that children attend school whenever possible. Excessive absences which cannot be excused by the school attendance committee may result in retention or legal action. |
Tardies: Prompt arrival to school is extremely important. The first few minutes of the day are very important for organizing, getting out homework assignments, reviewing previous lessons, sharpening pencils, and generally saying "good morning." Students arriving tardy to school (after 8:00AM) will report immediately to the office before entering the classroom. The student will receive a tardy slip to give to the teacher. The tardy bell is at 8:00 AM. Excessive tardies are considered thwarting compulsory attendance, resulting in the information being forwarded to legal authorities. Students are counted absent after 9:30 AM.
