Personal Absences. Absences such as vacations and family trips shall be considered unexcused. Advance classwork will not be required of the teacher by the administration prior to a planned absence. Homework and long-term assignments will be posted on ParentsWeb and be easily accessed. Please remember that the teacher and/or administrator has the right to adjust the assignments when necessary. School starts at 8:20 A.M. with the doors opening at 8:10 A.M. Any student arriving after 8:20 A.M. is considered tardy. The parent must bring the child to the office, sign him or her into the system. Tardies do count against the perfect attendance record. Remember, your child being tardy not only affects your child, but disturbs the rest of the class as well. Excessive tardies by students will result in an email to the parents to inform them of the excess and to require a conference to address a plan of action to be taken to correct this problem. Oklahoma law states that school Students with perfect attendance for the 1st and 2nd semester will be recognized, at the completion of each semester, with a certificate at Rise and Shine. To qualify for perfect attendance, students must not be absent any school days, including half days, and cannot have more than (4) four unexcused tardies or early departures during the school year.
