A student is allowed 10 absences per semester. A student with more than 10 absences receives
no credit for the semester or course and a grade of 69. These absences do not include extended
illnesses, which are defined as illnesses requiring absences of three or more consecutive
days supported by a doctor’s note. If
you are absent one day with a doctor’s note, that day is one of your 10 allowed
absences. Absence from a class due to a
field trip or other school function is excused and does not count as one of
your 10 allowed absences. Absences due
to family vacations or church trips will be counted as part of the 10 allowed
absences. A student must be in school
three full periods to be counted present for the day. To have perfect attendance, a student must be
counted present for each day and must not be tardy.
