The Ludington Board of Education believes that going to school is a full-time job and regular consistent attendance is necessary to earn credit in each course in which a student is enrolled. Presence in the classroom instills concepts of self-disipline and enables the stuent to hear and participate in class discussion, instruction, and other relate learning experiences.
Good attendance is very improtant for success in the school.
State law requires that children under the age of 16 must be in school on a regualr basis, and that parents may be held legally responsible. In conjunction with past practice and demands of future employers, it is critical that schools teach students the repsonsiblility of work attendance an punctuality, the ability to work with and for others and the social skills necessay to be a good citizen. The child's attendance shall be continuous and consecutive for the school year fixed by the school district in which the child enrolled. If a call is note received, tha parent or guardian will be called at home or work, to notify them and verify the child's absences. A note, describing the reason or absence, should be brought to the office after the absence, unless a call has been received.
