TARDIES

UNEXPLAINED ABSENCES

• Work missed due to an unexplained absence may only be made up within the guidelines set forth by each teacher.  You may be denied make-up privileges.
• Parents have 24 hours to call and explain an absence, with the exception of single-hour absences. If a student misses a single hour during the day, the excuse must be cleared prior to the hour of absence.

A full-day unexcused absence will result in the consequence of 2 to 3 extended detentions (Tuesday or Thursday).  Repeated unexcused absences may result in a short-term assignment to In-School Suspension and/or a behavior contract.
