The student should present to the attendance clerk an explanatory note from the parent and complete the Admission to Class form . The Admission form is taken by the student to each class, is signed by each teacher whose class was missed, and is left with the fifth period teacher. If the student becomes ill during the school day and wishes to go home, he must report to the attendance office. The office will contact the parents and issue a permit to leave school. If staff can not contact the parents the student will not be excused from school.
Students have a maximum of two days from an absence to submit a note explaining the absence.
In case of extenuating circumstances, the parents should call the assistant principal to explain the situation with the documentation of a medical doctor. Once a student accumulates ten absences, an in-school parent conference is required. Absences on the last day of a grading period, the day before a holiday, the day after a holiday, or the day of a semester exam, must be prearranged or with a medical note to be satisfactory. Duplicate admits will be unsatisfactory. A student scheduled to attend a field trip or to participate in a performance or school-sponsored event is required to attend school on the day of the trip, performance, or event.
