Attendance Policy

Absences
To clear an absence, students should bring a note from their parent/guardian that includes the following information: name of student, date of absence, reason for absence and signature of parent/guardian. The parent/guardian must make every effort to clear the absence on or before the day the student returns to school. A parent/guardian may also clear an absence by calling our absence line (317-5300) and press Ò3Ó at the recording. If a student is absent, please phone the office on that same day.

Continued unexcused absences may result in the parent/guardian being scheduled for a H.A.R.T. (Hillside Attendance Review Team) meeting with school and district administration. Severe attendance problems will be referred to the Child Welfare & Attendance Office for a S.A.R.B. (School Attendance Review Board) for a hearing.

Parents/Guardians are urged to request an Independent Study Contract when a student will miss 5 days of school or more due to an extended illness. The contract will list the assignment(s) the student must complete due to the absence. Parents/ guardians are responsible for verifying that assignments are completed and returned to the teacher on the agreed upon date of return to school. With an independent study contract, absences are recorded as excused, the school verifies positive attendance, and your child's attendance record does not reflect unexcused absences. These contracts are available in the school office. The school office must be notified at least 5 school days in advance of a planned absence due to illness, surgery or other medical procedure.

Tardies
Students are expected to be at school on time each day as tardiness disrupts their learning and the learning of others. Parents/guardians will be notified when their child exhibits chronic tardiness (truancy) and appropriate consequences will be enforced.
