Student Attendance

Page content

Each student's attendance and punctuality records are important. College admissions offices and future employers use attendance records as a means to determine an applicant's dependability and good citizenship. For one to achieve his best in school, punctual and regular attendance is necessary. State law requires that all pupils be in school during all days and hours that school is in session. Parents do not have the legal right to arbitrarily keep their children home on a school day. School absences should be limited to serious circumstances.
