Unexcused Absences. For all unexcused absences, students should report to the student office immediately upon return to school. Students may check with their 1st hour teachers if they are unsure whether their absence is excused or unexcused. Unless the student office has been notified, the absence will be marked “unexcused” and the student will have 24 hours to submit a written parental excuse. If the student has exceeded his/her 10-day limit, the written parental excuse must indicate one of the reasons defined in this policy as an acceptable excused absence to be considered an excused absence. The following reasons are not considered justified excused absences: 1. Tardy to school or class. 2. Leaving school during the day without permission and without signing out in the student office. 3. Leaving class or study hall without properly checking out. 4. Not reporting to a specific destination as indicated on a pass. 5. Wandering in halls or taking excessive time to report to assigned areas. 6. Pre-arranged absence beyond the 10-day cumulative absence limit (except verified/documented medical absences). 7. Forging notes or passes or falsified phone calls. 8. Shopping trips, hair/beauty/tanning appointments, picture taking, etc. 9. Working, child care, or helping out at home. 10. Excuses including, but not limited to: missed alarm; oversleeping; running late or parent/guardian running late; leaving school for leisure activities; car not starting. 11. Other conditions that would warrant an unexcused absence as deemed by Administration. Consequences for unexcused absences may include one or more of the following: 1. Phone call to parent/guardian. 2. Parent/guardian conference.
