PLEASE NOTE, VERY IMPORTANT:
• Students are not allowed to leave campus without prior parental permission. If your student must leave campus during the school day, call the Attendance Office IN ADVANCE to give permission for your student to be excused.

• Students must check in and out of the Attendance Office when leaving campus. It is the student's responsibility to pick up their pass from the Attendance Office before school or in between classes. If a student leaves without checking out with the Attendance Office they will be unexcused.

• A student may not exceed four (4) unexcused absences in a given class per semester without loss of credit. You are encouraged to keep track of your child's absences and calls made on your calendar. If a student is going to miss two (2) or more days of school (other than illness) they need to pick up or print out a Pre-arranged Absence form from the Attendance Office. It needs to be filled out by all the student's teachers and parent signature and then turned into the Attendance Office.

• Final Exam Week attendance requirements: Unless prior arrangements have been made with the teacher, students are expected to be in ther exam classes on time including Gym Class



Emergency Information
