Attendance

Instruction begins at 8:15. Students not here by that time are considered tardy and will need a pass to enter class.

Excessive tardies may affect end of year awards, possible retention, or may need to make up instructional time missed.

Students must be in school 90% of the school year. Therefore, they may not miss more than 18 days.

Attendance is crucial to learning.
