Reminder of Attendance Procedures
As we approach the end of the school year and many important events, we want to remind everyone that all day attendance is required to participate in after school and weekend activities. For events happening on the weekend, Friday attendance is used. Please see the two sections below from the handbook concerning attendance and excused absences.
Dismissal- Appointments should be made for non-school hours. If a student must be dismissed during school hours for an appointment, the parent must inform the Attendance Office when the appointment is, what it is for, and how long the student will be gone from school. Participation in extracurricular events after school and on weekends (including, but not limited to: Prom, Senior Banquet, Athletics, and School Performances) will be contingent on full student attendance with dismissals limited to only the proper excusals listed below.
Excused Absences-
The Board considers the following to be excused absences:
1. Illness
2. Recovery from an accident
3. Required court attendance
4. Medical and dental appointments
5. Death in the immediate family
6. Observation or celebration of a bona fide religious holiday
7. Such other good cause as may be acceptable to the principal or permitted by law

Obligations
The following message concerning obligations has been sent out as part of this email for the past few weeks. Please check your student's lunch account. We have students with significant lunch balances that need to be addressed.
We are in the season for buying prom tickets and preparing for other end of the year events including graduation. Students must make sure that they have cleared all obligations before they can buy tickets and participate in these events. Lunch balances, uniform and transportation fees, class fees, missing or damaged laptops and Chrome books, and missing books are amongst the items for which a student would be placed on the obligation list. Students who have an obligation(s) have received an email notifying them they are on the obligation list. An obligation letter will be sent home to families later this week with the specific items. Questions can be directed to Valerie Cunio at [email protected].
