Attendance All Students: The law states that all students must be in class 75 out of 90 days during a semester (WAC 180.051.050). Therefore if a student misses 15 days he/she wil I NOT receive that quarter or semester credit in that class. When I I absences are attained the student will be withdrawn (depending on circumstances) or placed on a Second Chance Contract (Principal's discretion). Students exceeding the above amount will be dropped for the remainder of the semester and placed at the bottom of the waiting list for the quarter. Absences are an indication of lack ofcommitment. Consequently, our first priority will be to give oppo1tunities to those that seem interested and want to continue their education. Therefore, new students will receive preference and will be placed at the top of the waiting list. Regular school attendance is necessary for mastery ofthe educational program provided to students. Parents are discouraged from requesting a student's absence for any reason other than prescribed by law. It is recognized that, at times, students may be appropriately absent from class. Therefore, the following procedures shall be in effect: •

Students returning from an absence or who have a note to be excused during the school day, should report to the office before first ,criod. A student arriving at school more than 15 minutes late will be considered absent.

•

Students needing a bus pass need to get it at the beginning ofthe day, before school starts.

•

Students who are absent from school all day will not be allowed to participate in after school activities on that day, unless the absence was a school sponsored activity or doctor appointment.

Excused Absences: To be excused, a student must present a note to the office, signed by a parent/guardian, or a Doctor's note. Valid excuses include: illness/injuries, family emergencies, religious holidays, authorized student activities, doctor/dentist appointments, and absences which, at the principal's discretion, may be excused but are not covered in the above instances. Truancy An unexcused absence from school is truancy. The consequence for truancy is: 1'1 time- Consequence decided by Principal 2 nd time- Suspension TBD Unexcused absences are considered to be truancies. When a student receives 5 unexcused absences within a month or IO within a school year, the school is required to file a petition with the Benton-Franklin County Juvenile .Justice Center. An absence is unexcused if a student is truant or unable to present a verifiable excuse upon returning to school. ft is at the teacher's discretion whether to allow students with an unexcused absence to make up the work missed. TARDY POLICY Each time a student is tardy to class, the teacher must interrupt the flow ofteaching to change the attendance. The student's late entry, together with the interruption ofteaching, constitutes a "classroom disruption," especially ifthat tardiness becomes habitual.
