Extracurricular Graduation Credits Meals Program Athletics District Admin. Schools are required to keep complete and accurate attendance records. A student may not be given credit for a class unless the student is in attendance at least 94 percent of the days the class is offered. Due to the variety of academic programs and schedules offered at the high school level, the total number of permitted absences for any class may vary.
Specific information is available at each campus.
If a student is absent, the parent or guardian must call the school that day to report the reason. Within five days of returning to school, the parent must submit a written note giving the reason for the student's absence. When a student is absent, specific steps are taken by the District. The school may recommend that the student complete some activity in addition to make-up work if the student is in danger of losing credit due to absences. If the student is denied credit due to attendance, an appeal may be made to the campus attendance committee.
