Attendance

Attendance Matters

If your student needs to leave during the school day:

• DO NOT CALL OR EMAIL. We cannot release a student from campus without either a note OR the parents/emergency contacts signing the student out. Please be prepared to come into school to sign your student out.
• DO send a written note. ALL students must have a note from the parent/guardian. The student needs to bring the note to receptionist in the morning so a “dismiss from class” pass can be given. The student MUST come to receptionist to sign out before leaving the building.
• DO bring your driver’s license/id if you are picking a student up. For the safety of our students, we require a photo id for verification. Only those individuals listed on the registration paperwork will be allowed to sign a student out.  

PARENTS PICKING UP STUDENTS FROM SCHOOL:

• Parents must come into the Reception area to sign out a student.
• The Parent/Guardian must show their Driver's License, Passport, or State Issued Identification to pick up their student.  These procedures are in place for the safety of our students.
• Signing out a student is not a written excuse for an absence.  A note must be submitted.
• Only the individuals listed as Guardian or Emergency Contacts will be able to sign out or pick up a student.  They must show their ID and it must match what is in the Home Access Center.

Please note that both excused and unexcused absences count against a student qualifying for a VOE form.  This form is required for a driver's permit, license or license renewal.  A student must have at least 90% attendance in every class for the prior semester before a VOE form and be approved.  The current semester will be used if the student is already violating the 90% rule at the time of the request.

Students may pick up a VOE form in the Assistant Principal's office.  The form will be printed immediately.  We cannot fax, email or scan this form.  It must be picked up by the student.

Keep in mind that this form is only valid for 30 days from the date signed so be sure to have your student's driving test scheduled first.
