Students are expected to turn in
excuses within two days of the tardy.
Every school will accept unlimited
excuses from a doctor for tardies. The student must have been seen by a
doctor.
Unexcused absence
On the second (2) unexcused absence,
a reminder letter will be sent from the school to the parents warning of
the consequences. On the fourth (4) unexcused absence, the parents will be
sent a Final Notice by certified mail, return receipt requested or
personal service by the director of pupil personnel. Parents will have the
opportunity to meet with the superintendent or representative to be given
consequences. Charges filed will be for unexcused absences after a Final
Notice has been sent.
