Teacher reminds student that first and second tardies equal one unexcused absence. The office will inform the student and the home of the tardiness problem. A student must be in attendance the day of an athletic event in order to have the right to participate. All parental excuses will be counted against the number. A student may go to town for parents during noon hour or study hall, IF the student has a pass written by the attendance officer by the end of the first hour of the day.
Parents can write passes only for the day s date, and can write only one pass per student per week.
Reasons for detention are to deter discipline problems and to enable students to make up the time any unexcused absences incurred during the week. Detention will resemble a classroom. The students will be on task and performing schoolwork during the duration of the period.
