Any
student accumulating four unapproved absences per quarter in any course will
receive an "F" for the quarter in that class. Any exception requires
specific administrative approval. Continued unapproved absences may result
in removal from the class and loss of credit.
This policy applies to all students except in those special situations
covered by special education laws and other state mandates. The Student
Affairs Office has the prerogative to determine status of absences in
special circumstances as applied to this policy, for example:
-
Students who have run away from home.
-
Lack of parent notification.
-
Personal emergencies not covered by other
policies.
Procedures to be followed in reference to unapproved absences are enumerated
below:
-
When a student accumulates two
unapproved absences from a class, a form letter from the Office of
Student Affairs will be sent to the parent or guardian.
-
With the occurrence of the fourth
unapproved absence, the appropriate Assistant Principal will have a
conference with the student and notify the teacher of the automatic "F".
A letter will be sent to the parents indicating this action and
recommending a conference.
-
A student who fails a quarter due to
unapproved absences may lose credit and be withdrawn from the class if
the pattern continues during remainder of the semester course.
