IMPORTANT ATTENDANCE INFORMATION
We ask all families to try and schedule family trips and vacations during school breaks. If this is not possible, please read through the procedures listed below to prepare accordingly.
Discretionary Days Policy:
Up to 5 student absences per semester can be substituted (max of 10 per year) with remote learning days by meeting the remote learning participation benchmarks listed in the policy. This would result in the student being counted as present for the day(s) they participate remotely.
- To be marked present, work must be submitted within 2 days of absence.
- Students may not use a remote learning day on a test day.
- Parent/guardian or student must notify the teacher in advance to the start of the instructional day to utilize the participation benchmark rule.
- Schools will make their best effort to provide instruction given early notice.
Students need to meet the following guidelines to receive credit:
Elementary School (Daily Attendance):
Student participates in synchronous Reading/Language Arts and Math instruction remotely or participates asynchronously as defined by the teacher.
Middle & High School (Period Attendance):
Participates in at least 50% of the school day to be given credit for attendance. Participation may be synchronous instruction remotely or students may participate asynchronously as defined by the teacher.
PLEASE NOTE: For those traveling, that are not using the discretionary days, the student will be withdrawn if they miss 10 days consecutively. Please note that teachers will NOT give the student work during this time and if the student is withdrawn at the time of report cards, they will NOT receive a first-semester report card.
