Attendance

Punctuality and regular attendance by all students is encouraged for these reasons:

  1. Regular consistent attendance promotes good learning and helps students achieve their full potential.
  2. Good work and attendance habits cultivated in school will help students prepare for higher education and careers.
  3. Attendance records are important to college admissions counselors and prospective employers. They invariably inquire about a student's attendance record as they consider admission or employment. To efficiently run the school and because the faculty and administration care about your son or daughter, it is important for you to notify the school if he/she will be absent or late. This policy is stated in full in the Student Handbook. Please refer to it and be aware of the procedures involved if your son or daughter is absent. Also note the differences between an excused or unexcused absence.
