attendance office the day of the absence.
• If NOT cleared within three days, absence turns into
truancy (full-day cutting)… hour missed=hour owed
• Notes will be accepted but the office prefers a phone
call.
• If you are ever out of class without an excuse, you’ll
have to make the hour up in detention or SWAP.
FIRST PERIOD ABSENCES
• We can’t accept transportation, baby-sitting, or “I didn’t wake up on
time” as an excused absence.
• The consequence for a first period unexcused absence will result in
a detention, or one hour for each period missed.
• Be CAREFUL, when you accumulate unexcused absences, you may
be suspended and referred to district office.
ARRIVING LATE AND LEAVING EARLY
• Sign in at the attendance office when arriving late or
leaving early.
• Failure to follow these directions may result in a
detention.

TARDY SWEEPS

• You must have both a HALL PASS and TEACHER’S PERMISSION when walking
outside of class after the bell rings.
