Attendance Policy
State law requires that all children between the ages
of six through eighteen, be enrolled in day school. Excuses for
absences for students in grades K-8 must be made in writing or in
person by a parent or guardian. Students with as many as five unexcused
absences will be referred to the attendance and social services
department. Students of high school age may lose their driver’s
license for excessive absences. Aside from the obvious need for
students to be present in school on a regular basis, absenteeism
also decreases state monies available to local school systems.
