Student Handbook Attendance Policy Students must be present a minimum of eighty days per semester to be eligible to receive credit for courses taken. Students absent more than ten days without state approved excuses will automatically fail courses. Absences on a student's report card will reflect every day that the student is out of class regardless of the reason. This includes absences due to school activities, field trips, ISS, time-out, suspensions, etc. Even though all absences are reported on the report card, only absences that are unexcused are counted against the student for purposes of compliance with the state attendance law.
Students are eligible to make up class work.
These absences will count against the total number of days required by the state compulsory attendance law. Students are not eligible to make up class work. Suspended days are unexcused absences and make-up work is not allowed unless the student exercises the option of attending an alternative site for suspended students. In-school suspension is not counted as an absence from school according to parish policy. All assignments are due upon the student's return to class.
