Students with EXCUSED ABSENCES ONLY are responsible for making arrangements with the teacher to make up work and assignments missed while absent.  

The student must obtain a pre-arranged absence form from the attendance office in advance of the absence.

A student is consider tardy to class after the bell rings unless excused by a note from the school personnel.  3 tardies per 9 week period = 1 unexcused absence.  Missing 15 minutes or more of a class constitutes an absence.

Upon returning to school a student must present a note or other appropriate documentation explaining an absence within 48 hours of the student's return to school.  Otherwise the absence may be considered as unexcused.
