ATTENDANCE REVIEW BOARD:
- ARB will consider EXTENUATING circumstances that includes documented major illnesses or death of immediate family members, not for numerous single hourly absences
- A student will be able to sign up for a 10-minute session to explain his/her case and must bring pertinent documentation to the session. The student will be notified of the decision of the ARB following the session.
- In addition to the ARB, students have an opportunity to make up time for days absent in two ways:
- Make up time in after-school detention on Monday and Thursday from 2:45 to 4:15 which counts for one class period. They must register in the Attendance Office.
- Make up time with their individual teachers by picking up the proper paperwork in the Attendance Office and getting the appropriate signatures by the teacher and House Principal. Students may make up time with other teachers if approved by both parties and signatures must be done for both teachers and the form returned to the Attendance Office following the make-up time.
- Any documentation must be supplied to the Attendance Office PRIOR to the Attendance Review Board session.
- Poor attendance patterns (single hour absences) will be considered and may result in no exemptions.
