Attendance will be monitored by a card scan system. Your attendance card is your student identification card, which we will issue to you. Each day of classes, you will be required to scan your card upon arrival to check in, and at departure to check out, in order to be recorded as present. Any day a scan is missed will be recorded as an absence. You will be allowed up to four absences per term, which results in an automatic 5% reduction in your attendance grade. You will receive an additional 5% reduction in your attendance grade for each absence beyond the first four.
If you scan someone else’s card, or if you ask someone else to scan your card, you both will receive a 0 (zero) for your attendance grade that term, and you both will be subject to immediate dismissal from the school.
Parents arriving late due to children’s schedules need to see the Dean of Students for approval of your schedule. Due to liability issues and disruption to the classes, children are not allowed at school or in the break room.
Class attendance is expected. If you are found outside of class during class time, you will be reminded to get into class. We will give verbal directives to students who are late for class or wandering in the hallways between classes. If we notice a pattern of consistently late, leaving early, or leaving during class, we will give written notice as your failure to comply. After the written notice, you will be given a 5% reduction in your attendance grade for each subsequent violation.
