Attendance/Tardies

Regular attendance is essential if a student is to make use of the educational opportunities the school offers. Regular attendance develops dependability and responsibility in the student and contributes to his or her academic achievement. Chronic absenteeism may hamper that achievement.

Attendance is taken in each room promptly at 8:30 A.M. daily. Students who arrive after this time must report to the office for a tardy slip and the adult who brought the child to school must complete the sign-in sheet.

An accumulation of twenty or more absences during the school year will place a student’s promotion to the next grade level in jeopardy.

If a student has seven tardies per quarter, a disciplinary referral will be completed.  A second disciplinary referral will be sent after the twelfth tardy in a quarter.
