Attendance

Regular attendance is a significant student responsibility at all grade levels. Many studies correlate regular attendance with success in school. Regular attendance means that the academic learning pro- cess is not interrupted, less time is spent on make-up assignments, and students benefit from participation and interaction with others in class. Many important lessons are learned through active participa- tion in classroom and other school activities that cannot be replaced by individual study.

Establishing a pattern of good attendance will benefit the student in school and in the workplace. Attendance is important in the develop- ment of a high quality work ethic, which will be a significant factor in a student’s success with future employers. One of the most important work habits that employers look for in hiring and promoting a person is his/her dependability in coming to work every day on time. This is a habit Solon High School wants to help students develop as early as possible. Student attendance records will be made part of the official transcript.

State law specifically states that every youngster up to the age of 18 must attend school. The law is also very clear on what constitutes a legal excuse for an absence from school. No parent or guardian has the right to excuse his child or anyone else’s child from school for any other reason than those stated.

Parents/guardians must call the attendance office (349-8037) each day that a student is absent(special arrangements for extended ill- ness). Parent/guardian of a vocational student must call both S.H.S. and their student’s vocational school. Students only need to bring a written note from parent/guardian if a phone call has not been re- ceived in the attendance office. Students returning to school without a phone call or note will be considered unexcused. This absence can be changed to excused (see criteria for excused absences Page 11) with a note or phone call from parent/guardian to the attendance

office within twenty-four hours from the date of absence.

If no parent/guardian phone call is received in the attendance office, it is our policy to call the home of the absentee. It is also our policy to spot check students’ absences even if a phone call to the school is received.

Attendance is checked at the beginning of each period. It is especially important that each student be present in first period in order to avoid being listed as absent for the entire day.

Students who are absent from school due to illness but are seen in or around the school or in the community during the school day could have their absence marked as unexcused. If a student is too ill to come to school, he/she is too ill to go anywhere else other than a doctor. Students who return to school for just one period or to obtain assignments must report to the office for an admit pass.

Students tardy to schoolMUST report to the attendance office to check into school. Students with a note from parent/guardian or doc- tor will be given an excused admit pass to class. If a student does not have a note, an unexcused admit pass will be issued.

Truancy Unexcused absence from school (truancy) is not acceptable. Stu- dents who are truant will receive no credit for schoolwork that is missed. A student will be considered habitually truant if the student is absent without a legitimate excuse for five (5) or more consecu- tive school days, for seven (7) or more school days in one month, or 12 or more schools days in one school year. Furthermore, a student will be considered chronically truant if the student is absent without legitimate excuse for seven (7) or more consecutive school days, for 10 or more school days in one month, or 15 or more school days in one school year.

If a student is habitually or chronically truant and the student’s
