ATTENDANCE

Attendance School begins promptly at 8:00 a.m. with attendance, followed by a school assembly led by Administration and students prayer, allegiance to the Flag, and announcements over the Public Announcement system and radio. A student is tardy if he or she arrives after 8:00 a.m. Prompt and regular attendance is important. A student can never make up for a day missed, even if the assignments are completed. Therefore, we ask that whenever possible, appointments, vacations, and other activities, which require your child to miss school, are scheduled for times when school is not in session. 

Administration and teachers assume responsibility for checking the regular attendance of all pupils. Accurate records of absences are kept on the online student information system. State law requires that students who have been absent bring a written note signed by parent / guardian with the reason for absence. These are kept on file until the end of the official grading period. Acceptable excused absences are illness, attendance at medical or dental appointments, funeral services for family members, quarantine directed by County or City Officials or emergency or special circumstances as determined by the school authorities.
