Attendance Policy

The Attendance Review Committee (ARC) will monitor

attendance every 5 weeks and will notify staff of all
students who are part of the process.

Communication with the student and families will occur
through daily phone calls for absences, a 3-day absence
letter home, and an ARC letter once student has more
than 5 unexcused absences in any class.

Students who have more than 5 unexcused absences in
any class will be required to attend an ARC meeting and
will no longer be allowed passes until improvement is
shown at a subsequent 5 week monitoring period.

Students who have more than 10 unexcused absences will
also have an individual meeting and sanctions will be
imposed on an individual basis.

Possible sanctions: communication home, no passes,
meeting with teacher/GLC/ARC member/counselor/case
manager/parent/admin, escort to class, no groups, no
dances or special activities, no parking passes, separate
lunch, no field trips, ID badge revoked, no open campus
during lunch for seniors, study hall sign out revoked for
seniors.

Credit will no longer be directly tied to attendance, however
teachers are still free to use their own individual
"participation" points to reflect on the students grade.
