1. Attendance Procedures  When you are absent you have three days to bring in a note indicating why you were absent.  Notes should be turned in to the attendance office and should have your home telephone number on them.

2. Losing Credit  5 Unexcused absences will cause you to lose credit in the class. This means you will have to repeat the entire class regardless of your grade in the class.  At 3 Unexcused absences your teacher will mail home a warning and will notify you that you are in danger of losing credit.  Only you are ultimately responsible for knowing your attendance

3. Appealing a Loss of Credit  Don’t get a false sense of security that you will be able to successfully appeal a loss of credit.  If you have missed 5 days unexcused your credit will depend on your teacher’s discretion.  Teachers have the right to assign detention or make other arrangements to restore your credit.

4. Appealing a loss of credit  A loss of credit appeal should be presented to your teacher within 5 days of the day you lose credit.  Appealing during the last week of school will do you no good.  Remember if you lose credit in a course you are still required to attend the course until the end of the year.

5. Absences  Teachers will assign you detention or call home and notify your parents when you are absent without an excused note.

6. Tardy  3 Tardies are the equivalent of 1 unexcused absence.  Teachers will assign detentions and notify your parents when you are tardy to class.

7. Remember: 90% of a successful life is just showing up

8. Remember: You don’t get very far in life if you only work on the days you feel great.
