Regular attendance and promptness to class are necessary to assure the continuity of the educational program. Time lost from class is irretrievable, and absences tend to disrupt the continuity of the instructional program. Time on task is essential if students are to succeed in their educational efforts. Most teaching is done in an orderly sequence of building concepts and practices based on classroom activities and previous academic experiences. If this pattern is broken by poor attendance, neither the student nor the school can expect satisfactory progress. School attendance is ultimately the responsibility of students and families. Students should remain out of school
ONLY WHEN ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY .
Absences will be considered either excused or unexcused. IN ORDER TO RECEIVE CREDIT, students in grades K-8 will be allowed not more than a total of 10 absences per year including excused and unexcused absences. |

A student who arrives at any time after the tardy bell 8:30 am , is considered tardy. Teachers are instructed not to admit a student to class (tardiness to school) without a pass after the tardy bell has rung. An acceptable excuse must be presented to determine if the tardiness is to be excused. The same guidelines are used for tardiness that apply to absences and dismissals. (Refer Part I, Item A)
