A student who is frequently absent from school is handicapped in his chance to learn in school, to make adequate social adjustments, and to develop a feeling of belonging and security. Frequent absenteeism may also prohibit satisfactory future employment.
Employers give careful attention to a student's attendance record.
Poor school attendance is indicative of poor habits and attitudes which may carry over into the employment situation. Therefore, it is necessary for the home and the school to cooperate in our attempt to produce healthy attitudes toward school and a good school record. This does not include medically verified long term illness or vacation. In this instance, the students' absence will be considered unexcused until such time as can be determined otherwise. This excuse must be dated and signed by a parent.
