Regular attendance is a contributing factor to success in school.
Irregular attendance is the chief cause for failures and subsequent withdrawal from school. One-half day absence will be recorded if a student misses one of the two periods in an afternoon or morning session or is tardy more than 3 times in a grading period. Perfect attendance certificates will be awarded to students who have maintained a perfect attendance by neither being absent nor tardy during the current school year. Refer to student Agenda for the complete policy. An absence other than for illness must be cleared in advance.
