  16. Excessive Absences • Once a student reaches 11 absences, a parent/guardian will need to meet with an administrator. • OFFICIAL DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED • Doctor’s note with specific dates indicated • Hospital release papers • Official accident report • Court documents with specific dates • At this point, a note written by a parent/guardian will no longer suffice. • Without official documentation, all absences after 10 will remain unexcused. • Students who have a total of six (6) days at an alternative to suspension program and/or 10 or more unexcused absences and/or 20 or more days tardy/excused early will not be allowed to participate in extra-curricular activities. 10 or more unexcused absences must be taken to the Athletic Director.

  19. Tardy Policy Students are tardy after 7:20 a.m. Students must report to the attendance office when tardy.. Continuous tardies will result in disciplinary action and loss of activity privileges. After 7:45, students need to report to the attendance office to secure an admit. The first nine tardies may be excused with a parent escort or valid excuse note (doctor’s note, court papers, appointment notes). Once a student accumulates ten (10) tardies, notes or parent escorts are no longer accepted, and the tardies will remain unexcused.
