The Board believes it is the responsibility of students to punctually attend all classes for which they are scheduled.
Regular attendance is necessary for academic and social growth.
It is not only good sense to encourage regular school attendance, it is the law as mandated by Connecticut Public Act 00-157. Punctuality, an essential element in the world of work, is likewise required in the educational setting. If a student is habitually tardy, not only does that student miss a portion of class, the learning process is disrupted for other students. The Board firmly believes that the interactions which occur within a class are extremely important to the overall education of each student. Certain class activities, discussions, and presentations cannot be effectively recaptured when missed because of absence.
