ATTENDANCE POLICY Good attendance is critical to success in school. Our attendance policy is designed to encourage a strong student attendance record. When students miss classes, they miss essential information, dialogue, and class activities, and the absence of their participation and presence can have an adverse impact on the classroom environment. 1. K1 students should arrive by 8:10 a.m. – K2 students should arrive by 8:00 a.m. Grade 1 – 5 students should arrive at school by 7:45 a.m. Homeroom begins at 7:50 a.m. 2. Homeroom teachers take attendance at the beginning of each school day and enter it into the student database by 8:15 a.m. K1 students are considered tardy if they arrive to their homeroom after 8:30 a.m. – K2 students are considered tardy if they arrive to their homeroom after 8:15 a.m. Grade 1 – 5 students are considered tardy if he/she arrives to their homeroom after 7:50 a.m. 3. Parents should inform the homeroom teacher of their child’s absence before 8:00 a.m. 4. If a student needs to leave school early, parents must notify the homeroom teacher and the Director of Student Affairs beforehand. The student must obtain an Early Release form from the Office of Student Affairs. See Sign In/Sign Out Office Procedure below. 5. If a student becomes ill during the day, he/she must go to the school nurse (A102 or 2-106). Absences Acceptable excuses for absences from school, classes or other required school activities cannot exceed 10 absences in one semester and include but are not limited to the following: Observance of religious holidays Travel with parents Medical visits Personal illness Illness &/or death in the family Emergency at home Visa or passport renewal Portions of the school day missed due to absences shall be carried as follows: 1. Absent less than 2 hours – student is considered present all day. 2. Absent two to four hours – student is considered absent half a day. 3. Absent more than four hours – student is considered absent one day. 7 Make Up Work for Excused Absences Teachers have the option of establishing make-up deadlines providing the days allowed are not less than those specified in this policy. Each teacher will communicate his or her make-up policy at the beginning of the year to the students. For every day a student is absent: (work assigned during absence) He/she has the same number of days to make up the work that is missed. (work assigned before absence) He/she is expected to have the work ready for submission on the day of returning to school. In some cases, due to the complexity and/or spontaneity of the assignment, the student will be either assigned a different assignment or be exempted from the assignment. In these situations, the student’s grade will be calculated as per the individual teacher’s written grading policy. Late Work Policy Late work is an assignment that a student has submitted in late, not make-up work from an absence. Students’ grade will be deducted 10% for each school day an assignment is late. Students may not turn in late assignments after five school days. No late work shall be accepted for credit after the final day of the quarter. Planned Absences Students anticipating absences should obtain a Student Leave Form (see Appendix) from the Office of Student Affairs or the school’s website. The form needs to be filled out by a parent or guardian, signed by the student’s homeroom teacher, and submitted to the Office of Student Affairs. Tardiness (by quarter) K1 students are considered tardy if they arrive to their homeroom after 8:30 a.m.
