“A student must not be absent from a class more than 10 times for a semester. As a matter of procedure, the Attendance Office will notify parents whenever a student has accumulated 5 or more non-school related absences in a class. From then on, it is the student’s and parents’ responsibility to monitor his/her attendance to avoid credit loss. Upon a student’s 9th absence in a semester course, (excluding absences due to school activities, medical absences supported by a physician’s written verification of a specific illness, and any suspensions), the parent/guardian will receive a written notice of credit loss.”

 “...in order for students to qualify for the attendance appeal process, the student must be passing the class and losing credit due to excessive absences only. It is the full responsibility of the parent(s)/guardian(s) and students to be aware of the student’s full attendance record during the school year in each of his/her classes. Documents upon which the appeal is being made should accompany the appeal form.
