Attendance

• Most important piece of school success!

• By School Board Policy: “Upon the 10th absence per class, per semester, the student will continue to be enrolled in the class or classes on a NO CREDIT status.”

• This does not count for school related absences.

• It does count for truancy and excused absences.

Attendance (cont.)

• Please know if your child is sick…please keep them home.

• If your child hits the 10th absence we will determine credit based on the circumstances at hand.

• The idea behind the policy is for students not to skip class.

• The idea is not to send kids to school sick.

Attendance (cont.)

• Parents will be notified daily upon students missing class via phone as well as in writing on the 5th, and 10th absences in any one course.

• 3 tardies will equal one unexcused absence.

• If you are late more than 10 minutes the tardy will be marked as an unexcused absence.

LCSD #1 Weapon’s Policy

• LCSD#1 and the administration of Central High School believes that a safe and orderly environment are two of the top correlates of effective schools.

• Weapons are not allowed on campus (including pocket knifes, box cutters, munitions, etc).

• Over 1/3 of suspensions or expulsions district wide were the result of students bringing pocket knives or like items to school.
