Loss of Credit
Averaging Policy
A student will automatically lose credit for their classes if they miss more than 4 days in a nine week period whether or not the absences are excused. Upon return of an absence, a student has only 3 days in which to submit an excuse to the attendance office, otherwise the absence will remain unexcused.
If the absences are excused, a student will be given the opportunity to attend Saturday schools for every additional day they missed. Deadlines do apply.
If the absences are unexcused, a student will lose credit for the classes and will not be able to make them up by attending Saturday schools.
Students will be given the opportunity to turn in an “Appeal Letter” if there are extenuating circumstances.
Loss of Credit-Attendance Policy
The student must have a semester gradeof at least a 65 to qualify for the averaging of two semesters.
The average of both semesters must be a 70 or higher for credit to be earned.
