Students who are absent without a valid excuse are considered truant from school. Truancy carries the penalty of suspension. Students who are truant from school for three consecutive days, five days in a semester, or seven days in the school year will be turned in to SRS or the County Attorney's office. If a student is not in attendance for any part of a half day, then the student will be recorded absent for that half day. Doctor appointments of 90 minutes or less are not counted against perfect attendance.
Regular attendance is mandatory.
A student will benefit from activities at school.
