In accordance with state mandate, students are allowed two (2) absences per semester course. More than two absences per course will result in a Withdraw grade being issued for no credit, without a refund. Calling in a student absence does not excuse the absence. Tardies Four (4) tardies at the beginning of the day, the break, or leaving early at the end of the day per semester course equals one (1) absence. Tardies exceeding 15 minutes equal an absence. Any combination of absences and tardies that exceed two (2) days results in a Withdraw grade being issued for no credit, without refund.

Absences, tardies and final exam policies are outlined in the Student/Parent Handbook. The parent/guardian and student signatures on the Student/Parent Handbook constitute understanding and acceptance of these conditions.
