Students have to attend EACH class (8 total classes) at least 90% of the days the class is offered per semester. (this includes excused and unexcused absences) If students lose credit for a class, absences will be reviewed by the Attendance Review Committee. This committee will decide whether or not the student may regain credit through after school Cub Academy, Intersession or Summer School.
- We can only accept 5 handwritten notes (parent/guardian notes) to excuse your child’s absences for the school year.
- All absences must be cleared through the attendance office. Notes will only be accepted within two days of the absence.
- After an absence, students will report to the front office first thing in the morning with their excuse note. After 8:20am, students may submit their notes to the front office at teachers discretion. A note is required for ALL absences.
- If picked up early, or arriving late and missing any class period, it is important that you submit a note to excuse the absence for the class periods missed.
- Students who are absent for the entire school day are generally not allowed to participate in extracurricular activities (including sports, fine arts, clubs, cheer, or drill), unless the absence is pre-approved or excused for reasons such as a documented doctor’s appointment, a school-sponsored trip, a religious holy day, or an approved family emergency.
Excused Absences:
- Personal illness with a note (5 allowed for the year)
- Doctor’s appointment
- Death in family
- School sponsored activities
- Religious Holy Days (parent must submit a
- written request in advance)
- Principal approved absences
Unexcused Absences:
- Skipping/ditching class (Truancy)
- Absence without parent/guardian permission
- Misuse of pass from teacher
- Leaving class early without permission
- Truancy is defined as being absent from class without
- permission from parent/guardian or administration.
