Some Attendance Highlights : ABSENCE FROM SCHOOL All student absences are recorded as either CHARGEABLE or EXEMPT. ALL absences, except those that are exempt (see handbook)..., are classified as “chargeable” absences from class. These chargeable absences are applied towards the maximum number of chargeable absences that a student may have for a course. A student may not exceed a total of EIGHTEEN (18) days of chargeable absences for a full–year course, nine (9) chargeable absences for a semester course , or four (4) chargeable absences for a marking period course . Exceed this number for a class, lose credit for that class. Meaning if you have 18 full days of absences, you will lose credit for the year and may repeat the grade. Chargeable Absences (Absences that DO count towards the 18 day limit): 1. All non-exempt absences are considered CHARGEABLE , including absences due to illness with doctor’s note, notes, phone calls or emails from parent/guardian for illness or other absence. 2. Every two days late will be counted as one day absent and will be calculated as a chargeable absence for overall attendance. Tardy to School Doors open at Exits 1 & 10 promptly at 7:55 am for students to begin their day. The official start of each school day is 8:05 AM. All students are required to be in their assigned homeroom for attendance, other school-related matters and instruction, not in the hallways. Any student arriving after 8:05 AM must scan in at the kiosk scanner. Students who arrive late to school (after 8:05 a.m.) must enter on the circle side of the HS and report to the Main Office or kiosk located outside the Main Office. Every two (2) lates to first period one will equal one (1) day absent from a student’s period one class. (ex. Ten (10) lates equal five absences; twenty lates equal ten absences; thirty lates equal fifteen absences from class). These absences will count as Chargeable Absences toward the 18-day limit ). See SPHS Handbook pages 48-53 for complete attendance information.
