Attendance Policy

Student Services: Committed to enhancing student achievement

Students should be expected to attend school and all classes regularly and to be punctual. There is a significant relationship between regular attendance and academic achievement and completion of a school program. Regular attendance assists students in the development of self-discipline and good work habits. These habits generally remain with the students as they enter the world of work. It is essential to teach the benefits of and encourage good attendance and punctuality during a student’s educational career.
 
Regular attendance is a shared responsibility by the community, the home, students, and school personnel, and we must work together to promote it to the fullest extent possible.
