School Policies

Now that we are an official public charter school, attendance must be taken. Attendance is the first important key to your child’s school success and directly impacts our school’s public funding.

Attendance

  • The official school day begins at 8:15 am and ends at 5:00 pm.
  • Students will be marked tardy up to 8:45 am.
  • Any student who arrives after 8:45 am, without a legitimate doctor’s note, will be recorded as absent for the morning, but may remain for the rest of the day.
  • At 12:00 pm, attendance will be taken again.
  • Any student arriving after noon, up until 12:30 pm, will be marked tardy.
  • Students arriving after 12:30 pm will be marked absent for the afternoon but may remain for the rest of the day.
  • A pre-approved extended absence may be approved by the principal if the absence will be for more than 3 days. The form must be submitted before 4 weeks of the absence (birthday, family vacation, visa, passport, college visit.)
  • Other approved absences include illness, significant family emergencies (accidents, funerals, etc.), medical appointments (with a doctor’s note), extended illnesses (with a doctor’s note) religious holiday (with parent note), official severe weather warning.
