Good attendance habits learned and developed inschool will be carried over into the world of work. Please remember, every school day counts. Being absent from class or fromschool is the most frequent reason for students failing. A student who comes to class everyday, on time, with books and materials,rarely fails.Student Attendance Area: Students must attend the school within their area of residence in which their parent or guardian (CourtOrder) lives. A student whose residence changes during the school year must notify the school and fill out a Change of ResidenceForm located in the Counseling Office. If this change places the student outside the area of the student’s present school, he/she musttransfer to the appropriate school. The Withdrawal/Entry procedures will be followed accordingly.Student Attendance Protocol: Attendance is taken daily after each tardy bell.*Tardiness: Students who are late ten (10) minutes or more after the tardy bell will be marked tardy unless a validexcuse/letter/certification is provided to reporting teacher. Moreover, students who accumulate three (3) unexcused tardies will becounted as one (1) day of unexcused absence for that class. Teachers will make reasonable efforts to contact parent/guardian anddocument outcome.**The school administrator shall have the discretion to decide whether tardiness is considered as excused.*Tardiness Due to Late Bus: Students tardy due to a late bus will obtain an excused admit slip from the main entrance frontcounter. This is only if the school has been notified of a late bus by Dept. of Public Works or a late bus is noted by school personnel.*Absences: Students who are not present in class will be marked absent and will only be excused upon receipt of a properexcuse/letter/certification. The first teacher who the student reports to for the day will issue an excused admit slip for classes missedupon teacher receipt of an excused letter/certification that adhere to BP 411 provisions. An excused admit slip will be issued providedthat a valid excuse/letter for one (1) or two (2) days of absence is given to the student’s reporting teacher. Additionally, students withabsences of three (3) or more consecutive days will only receive an excused admit slip when a doctor’s certification is provided.
