In conjunction with NJ State law, the River Dell Board of Ed. has established a policy which requires each student be present in class a minimum of 90% of the time in order to receive credit for a course.
A student will lose credit in a course or courses if he or she reaches the following number of absences:
All excused and unexcused absences are included in a student’s attendance record. Students may appeal a loss of credit based on reason for the absences.
In the case of excessive absences, the
assistant principal or designee will carefully review attendance records at the conclusion
with those students who have accumulated excessive absences.
Parents of these students will be informed of
absences on a bimonthly basis through an attendance letter.
Comprised of the principal, assistant
principal, director of pupil personnel services, nurse and teacher.
Review cases of each student whose
attendance violations appear to warrant the loss of credit for a course or courses.
Provide the student with an opportunity to
appeal his or her loss of credit by presenting documentary evidence in support of the appeal.
