The school year consists of 180 days.  A written excuse signed by a parent/guardian must be submitted for each absence, and the specific reason for the absence must be stated before it can be excused.

Students absent more than five (5) days in a nine week period must bring a doctors excuse. After accumulating ten (10) absences, students will be excused only for medical reasons and must present a doctors excuse upon returning to school. No prearranged absences will be permitted if a student has accumulated ten (10) or more absences during the school year.

Students reporting to class after 8:00 A.M. must obtain a tardy slip from the office. Three (3) unexcused tardies equal one (1) absence.
