Attendance

Absence Excusals

• If a student is absent from class, the absence must be excused by a parent or guardian within 7 calendar days of the absence. 
  • Students absent due to a school activity (field trips, athletic events, etc.) will be marked Released (R) by office staff, unless the student is not allowed to participate in school-sponsored activities.
• If you believe your student was incorrectly marked absent, please contact the student’s teacher directly. Most teachers are best reached via email.

Tardy / Late

Tardy/Late excusal passes are available in the Main Office and Student Services for students who have a parent- or teacher-signed note excusing their tardiness.

• If a student is pulled to an office (counselor, secretary, administrator, etc.) during or between classes, the office will provide a late pass for the student to return to class.
• If a student arrives late to school without a parent note, they will not receive a late pass and must go directly to class. Their late or tardy will remain unexcused.
• Students with a late pass will have their attendance marked X (Office-Excused) by their teacher upon arrival to class.
