Attendance Forms
Turn in an Absence excuse or note on-line.
Attendance Appeal Form:
If you believe a clerical error occurred, and the attendance reported by e-mail or on Edline is inaccurate, you can submit an Attendance Appeal Form that asks for the attendance record to be changed. Please fully complete the downloadable form and submit any additional documentation that supports the change (doctor's note, college visit itinerary, etc.)
Attendance Intervention Plan Form:
If a student has multiple (3-5) unexcused absences, or an equivalent number of unexcused tardies, then a conference will be held that includes the student and parent, the teacher (s) involved, the counselor, and an administrator. The conference attendees will complete an Attendance Intervention Form to document the required plan to make-up missing work, and to ensure that the absences stop so that the student will get credit for the class.
Questions about this process and policy should be directed to your grade level administrator.
