DISTRICT ATTENDANCE POLICY The following procedures have been established for unexcused absences: 1. Absences Parents are responsible for ensuring that their children attend school on a regular and punctual basis. The purpose is to help students learn daily and be educationally prepared for the next school year. The District believes that teaching children the importance of regular and punctual attendance also helps them mature into responsible adults who will one day be prepared for the world of work. Children are expected to be in school a minimum of ninety percent (90%) of the time. The following steps assist in accomplishing this goal. Before 9:15 a.m. on the day of any absence, it is the responsibility of the student’s parent/guardian/legal custodian (hereafter referred to as the parent) to notify the school secretary or building administrator regarding the reason for the absence. In the event the school is not contacted, a school official will attempt to contact the parent.
