Valuables Visitors Announcements Announcements will be made in the mornings, during homeroom or the first class period. Every effort will be made to keep announcements brief and to the point. It is required that all announcements be dated and signed by a faculty member and approved by the principal or assistant principals. Attendance Policy It is the goal of Paul Laurence Dunbar Staff to have every student in attendance each day. Students should bring a note, written and signed by the parent, upon their return to school.
Any assignments made in advance are due the day the student returns.
Students having justifiable absences will be allowed to make up work. The principal, with the teacher, will determine whether make-up work for unexcused absences will be given. Announced tests, for which students have had an adequate time or prior notice to study, will be made up on the day immediately following the absence. It is important for parents and students to understand that high grades and good attendance go hand in hand. In-class work in the Fayette County Schools comprises a significant portion of a student's grade.
