Notes/Absences/Tardies Attendance is taken every period in high school Please bring a confirmation note from all appointments We believe regular school attendance is directly related to success in school. The responsibility to inform the school in the event of a student absence belongs to the student’s parents/guardians. We are here to work cooperatively with the student and parents/guardians to solve any attendance problems that may arise. Students with perfect attendance: Quarter=Free small blizzard Year=Free combo or basket meal

Attendance/Tardies cont. Students tardy at the beginning of the day must report to the office for a tardy pass. Class begins at 7:55 AM When a student is absent from class in excess of 8 times per year, credit for that course may be denied. Emergency situations will be handled by administration. Notes/phone calls from parents/guardians are required for all absences, otherwise they will be unexcused. All students need notes/phone calls from parents/guardians to leave building for appointments, etc.
