No, doctor/dentist appointments are not excused absences. The note serves as a verification of your absence however, does not excuse a student from the class(es)/period (s) students were absent from.

• Credit denial occurs when a student does not receive credit for a course that the student passed. Reasons a student may be in credit denial include but are not limited to:

• Attendance policy violation (NC - no credit, on transcript) (Absent more than 9 times in a semester class)

• Code of conduct violation; assigned discipline not served.

1. Fill the attendance appeal form out completely and hand it in to the main office. 

2. Begin making up attendance hours after school immediately: You have two options to do this:

OPTION 1(strongly recommended)

1. Stay with your teacher(s) after school (1:38-2:25pm) for the class(es)/period you are in credit denial. A late bus will be provided to transport students home.

2. Bring your attendance make up hours form for your teacher to sign

3. Once you have made up your hours/filled the attendance form, hand it into the main office. 

OPTION 2

1. Attend central detention after school

2. Make sure to sign-in to receive credit for time spent.  A late bus will be provided to transport students home.

* For every class/period a student is absent for, the student is required to make up 1 hour. For example: Harold Hawk was absent in Biology class 12 times, and 13 times in Math. Therefore, Harold Hawk needs to make up 3 hours (anything above 9 needs to be made up) for Biology, and 4 hours for Math, with a total of 7 hours to make up. 

If a student has accrued the maximum number of absences, both excused and unexcused, for a course and has received a grade of NC (no credit) for that course the student may appeal the credit denial. Attendance appeal hearings will be conducted periodically throughout the year. In order to be considered for an attendance appeal, students must obtain and complete an Attendance Appeal Request Form (forms are also available in the attendance office; adjacent to the main office). Forms need to be filled out completely or the student appeal will not be considered.The Attendance Committee will review each student’s attendance appeal eligibility. 

Students/parents must be able to account for each and every absence during the school year up to the  date of the appeal hearing. Class grades, attendance improvements and adherence to attendance contracts will also be considered. Please be reminded that, as per the state law, having a passing average is not the only factor in whether a student is awarded credit and that attendance of classes is also a requirement for course completion. If an appeal is approved, the student shall receive the grade he/she has academically earned for the class and the grade of NC will be removed. Students  whose credit is reinstated must adhere to the terms of their attendance contracts to recover lost  credits. If the appeal is denied the student will receive a grade of NC for their course(s) in which he/she has excessive absences. IMPORTANT: Cutting classes will severely impact students’ eligibility for credit restoration. 

If you have questions about a specific sport, start by talking to the coach. All coaches are posted on the athletics webpage. For more information, you can speak to the athletic secretary, Ms. Tupper in the main office, and/or make an appointment to speak to the Athletic Director, Mr. Lister. 

Tardiness to School – Students not in class by the 7:10 bell will need to report directly  to the Attendance Office to sign in and receive an attendance pass. 

Student will not be  admitted to class without an official pass from attendance.

 A lateness of 20 minutes or  more to any class is considered an absence. Each time a student is late to school, a demerit will be issued. 

After 5 lates to school, administrative central detentions will be assigned every late thereafter. 

As per the demerit policy, students who accumulate 10 demerits will have privileges suspended. 

Students who have 10 lates to school, regardless of demerits, will have parking privileges  suspended for 2 weeks. Progressive discipline will be used moving forward. Unfulfilled  detentions will result in credit denial for classes until the time is served.
