CHÍNH SÁCH HẤP DẪN

Vắng mặt : Một học sinh sẽ bị đánh dấu là vắng mặt nếu học sinh đó không đến lớp / trường cả ngày; hoặc nếu học sinh có mặt đúng giờ nhưng rời đi trước 11 giờ trưa; hoặc nếu học sinh đến lớp / trường sau 11:00 sáng.

Việc đi trễ sẽ khác trong quá trình học từ xa. Vì một số học sinh có thể gặp vấn đề về công nghệ hoặc các vấn đề hậu cần khác, điều này có thể ảnh hưởng đến khả năng đăng nhập đúng hạn của học sinh. Chúng tôi sẽ linh hoạt và thông cảm nếu học sinh đến muộn một chút vào buổi học / lớp học; tuy nhiên, học sinh sẽ bị đánh dấu là đi học muộn nếu học sinh đó đến trễ đáng kể trong một buổi học / lớp học và / hoặc điều này trở thành một vấn đề kinh niên.

EXCUSED ABSENCE

Written documentation must be submitted within three (3) days upon student's return to school and the note from parent or guardian must include the information cited in "A" plus the parent or guardian's signature. The absence should be one of the following reasons:

Illness, injury, quarantine (chicken pox, measles, etc.), verifiable by a doctor's note. *A doctor's note is required for 3 or more consecutive days of absence.
Doctor/Dental appointment verifiable by a doctor's note
Death in the family
Court attendance verifiable by a court document
Special case approved by the Principal – for example:

Child is seeing their deployed parent off or welcoming them back, the principal may approve this as an excused absence. Notice should be given prior to the event.
Family emergency has occurred and the child must be with the parent for the day, the principal may approve this as excused absence. Parents should call school as soon as possible.
Severe weather condition.

Authorized school activities which may include, but are not limited to on-campus activities (ie. Fun Run, parent involvement, meetings, etc.) and off-campus activities (ie: field trips, student council, etc.)
Other activities approved by the Principal or designee prior to the activity or absence.

UNEXCUSED ABSENCE

All student absences not covered above in "Excused Absence." These are events that may occur during the school day, but are considered 'unexcused':

Babysitting siblings or other children
Caring for the elderly or any family member
Entertaining visitors or guests
Kept at home to clean house
Family vacations (on/off island) trips
Parent request without explanation
Personal business
Youth camp
Sports competition events

This is just an example of reason considered "unexcused," other reasons could be taken on a case-by-case basis, however, anything not listed under excused is considered an unexcused absence.

Requesting Homework for Absences

You may request homework when calling the school to notify the office of you child's absence. Parents are encouraged to call the office (733-4750) by 8:30am to report absences and to request homework. Homework may be picked up after school in the office between 2:15-4:00pm. Calling the office to confirm that assignments are available may save you a trip.

PLEASE NOTE:

Parents, as much as possible, please plan family trips during intersession or holidays. When children miss several days of instruction they have difficulty catching up, progressing and maintaining the rigors of a standards-based education.
Parents must notify the school in writing when plans for any extended absences due to family vacation, youth camp, and/or sports competition events (i.e. Little League World Series, etc.) The school administration has the discretion to determine if the extended absence will be excused or unexcused, especially if student academics are adversely affected and/or if attendance is a concern. Parents should meet with the school administration and teacher to discuss educational arrangements.

School Guidelines on Tardies

Students who arrive at school after 8:05am are tardy. Students must report to the oe to check in. All excused absence reasons apply. Other reasons must be reviewed by an administrator before the tardy is excused.

EXCUSED TARDY

The student's tardiness is considered excused if the student:

Brings a verified doctor/dental, court, or parent note using the same information as with an "excused absence"
Brings a doctor's note that is required for 3 or more consecutive tardy days.
Is detained by school personnel.
Is delayed by the school bus.
Is delayed by unusual weather conditions (approved by administration)

UNEXCUSED TARDY

Includes, but are not exclusive of:

Overslept/late start
Car trouble
Missed the bus
Babysitting
Personal business
