• TARDIES
    • Every tardy counts(whether excused or unexcused) on the student's permanent attendance record and records will be kept in the office.  Parents may receive a letter notification after multiple tardies.
    • Ten tardies in one school year is considered extremely excessive, and the student may be referred to the Student Attendance Review Team (SART).
    • If probation is violated, and there are multiple tardies, the student may be referred to the Student Attendance Review Board (SARB) at the district level and could be transferred to the neighborhood school (or other school of parent choice).
    ABSENCES
    • Since state funding is based only on actual student attendance in school, all students are expected to attend school every day they are well.  Students are expected to remain at home only if they are visibly ill and/or contagious.
    • After 14 absences, the student will be required to bring a doctor's note for each absence.  A Student Attendance Review Team (SART) meeting may be scheduled.
    • A letter of probation may be given for excessive absences with a possible referral to SARB.  The school may also send the school district attendance representative for a home visit.
    • Consideration will be made for a student who has an extended absence due to illness such as chicken pox, mumps, or more serious diseases.
