Important School Policies
ATTENDANCE POLICY
This attendance policy establishes reasonable standards regarding absences. The objective of the policy is to encourage a high rate of student attendance without imposing a hardship on teachers, parents, or students. This involves being informed about the specifics of the regulations, as well as adhering to them. In implementing the policy, administrators will strive to be consistent. Written documentation from the parent/guardian is required for all absences. All students are expected to attend school when the technical schools are in session. It is the student’s responsibility to provide documentation from their home school for days missed at the technical schools when they must stay in their home school for testing and exams, field trips and college visits. Any absence, (excused or unexcused), that exceeds eight (8) days per semester may result in loss of credit for that semester. Extenuating circumstances are handled on an individual basis.
PLEASE NOTE: This includes spring break and teacher workdays. Students participating in a post-secondary school for dual credit or involved in an internship program for credit will abide by the technical high school’s attendance policy for their high school credit. Students will sign Dual Enrollment/Internship forms.
TELEPHONES/CELL PHONES/ELECTRONIC DEVICES (MP3 PLAYERS AND HANDHELD GAMES)
With permission, students may use telephones located in the main office. Students will not be excused from class to place or receive telephone calls except in emergency situations. We suggest students leave their cell phones at home or in their cars. The district is not responsible for lost or stolen electronic devices. If students do bring them into the building, they are to be placed in their locker until the end of the day. They are not to be seen, heard, or used in the classroom. Parents may contact their son or daughter through the front office.
Cell phones, MP3 players, and handheld games may only be used in the cafeteria before or after school and during lunch. Headphones must be worn when in use.
