Attendance
Persistent absenteeism or tardiness creates a genuine hardship for the student and is regarded as a very serious problem. This type of absenteeism will be reported to the Attendance Officer. Please contact the main office before the start of the school day if your child will either be absent or tardy. Students must report to the main office if they are tardy. After signing-in, they will receive a late pass to class.
If a student has a medical problem and is absent for more than three days he/she must have a written doctor's letter. Only if an absence is excused will a student be allowed to make up missed work. Three tardies will be equivalent to one unexcused absence; repeated offenses will be handled on a case by case basis.
Instances of excessive absence/tardiness will result in the case being referred to the Wayne County Prosecuting Attorney's Office.
