Hun Summer Camp 2018_Layout 1 4/2/18 7:40 PM Page 6 Attendance and Tardiness Policy Daily attendance for students seeking credit in a credit class is essential to success. In credit classes, every day missed is the equivalent to missing one week of work during the school year. Student attendance is monitored; parents of day students can help with this by emailing [email protected] or by calling (609) 921-7600, extension 2346 by 7:45 a.m. to report a student absence. Boarding students who are ill and cannot attend class must report to the Teacher on Duty, so the student can be accounted for and sent to the nurse. Repeated absences, either excused or unexcused, may require a parent conference to determine if credit can be earned for students taking credit courses. For students taking enrichment courses, attendance is still considered essential, and special arrangements should be made in advance for excused absences. Tardiness to class and other scheduled commitments is not acceptable. The Hun School expects student to fulfill all obligations on time. For boarding students, this policy includes all check-in times ² including breakfast, afternoon activities, weekend activities, dinner, study hall, etc. 4.
