Attendance Policy:
All student absences will be determined either excused or unexcused. All class work and
tests missed during an absence must be made up in order to receive credit for those
assignments. Until work is completed, a zero will be recorded in PowerSchool. After an
absence, students are required to bring a note signed by a parent/guardian or a doctors
excuse explaining the reason for the absence. Excuse notes should be presented to your
homeroom teacher on the first day back to school.

Students should not be tardy/late to school or class. The administration will handle tardiness
to school, and each teacher will handle tardiness to his/her class. Tardiness to class will result
in break detentions and possibly an office referral. Please use your time wisely!

when the bell rings.
