Absence Definition: Absences are counted on a per class basis.
Please be advised that any absence/s not excused within 24 hours of absence will remain permanently unexcused on the student’s record. It is imperative that a parent or guardian leaves a message on the school attendance line regarding a student’s absence, preferably on the day of the absence. If a student has notified his/her teachers of an absence, it is still important that a parent/guardian phone the attendance line. Phone calls go out every evening, through our SYNERVOICE system, informing parents of any absences that have not been excused during the school day. Please report unexcused absences to the school attendance line within 24 hours of receiving a phone call. Once again, any absences not excused within 24 hours will result in a permanent unexcused absence on the students record. Parents have 24/7 access to student attendance information through the PowerSchool parent portal.
Parents may wish to remove their son/daughter from school for an extended period of time (longer than 3 days) for reasons other than bereavement or illness. The school does not grant approval for a student to be absent, but rather records the parent/guardian’s intent to remove a student from the school. A Leave Notification Form is available at the office. Students are asked to check their teacher’s webpage to ensure work is not missed during their time away. Upon returning, it is the student’s responsibility to make up work missed. Teacher’s may provide assistance during class time but due to the voluntary nature of the absence, they are not required to spend time outside of regular school hours.
Teacher Advisors will be given a monthly report on students who have 5 or more unexcused absences (Reports give cumulative information from beginning of school year). Teacher Advisors will then follow up with parents to discuss the issue. A meeting between the parent and teacher will be determined by the parties involved.
At 10 cumulative absences, Teacher Advisors will refer the issue to guidance and administration. A meeting between the parent, teacher, administration, and guidance counselor may occur depending on the circumstances. A letter will be issued to parents. If further intervention is necessary, it will be determined collaboratively by the stakeholders involved.
At 15 cumulative absences, another letter will be issued and a meeting between all parties involved will be called to discuss options open to the student. Other interventions will continue to be explored.
While parent knowledge and permission is important for absences, absences can still impede the ability for the student to keep up with the rigors of the high school curriculum. Students who are frequently absent with excuse can experience some of the same issues that unexcused absent students do. It is incumbent upon the school to inform parents when absences reach a critical point. If a student reaches an absence rate of 10 or more, whether excused on unexcused, parents may receive a letter of concern from the school.
Those two principles guide our decision making around organizing learners and looking beyond curriculum boundaries to create authentic, cross curricular learning opportunities for our students.

In certain areas, learners are able to focus on specific career pathways that lead to specialized or credentialed skill sets. Specialized skills allow students to focus on their passion while Credentialed Pathways are determined by industry standards. Examples of Learning Academies include:
