• District Attendance Policy

    “On Time, Every Day, All Day”

    There is a strong relationship between regular school attendance and academic performance. Students who are in class and on time daily, have the best chance for school success!

    Attendance Expectations

    Students are expected to attend all classes each day.

    Students are expected to be on time for each class during the school day.

    Students are to remain in school the entire school day.

    Students are expected to maintain a ninety-six percent (96%) attendance rate.

    The District complies with the Michigan Compulsory School Law, which states that all students between the ages of six (6) and eighteen (18) are to attend school during the entire school year.

     

    Absences

    Notify the school regarding your child’s absence.

    Send a note regarding the reason for the absence when your child returns to school.

    A note should be received within one (1) day of your child’s return to school.

    Make sure that all the make-up work is completed and returned to the teacher.

     

    Tardiness

    Students who arrive later than the beginning of the school day or after the start of class without an excuse and/or pass are considered tardy.

    Excessive tardiness disrupts the learning process and negatively impacts the student’s academic achievement.

     

    Truancy

    Students who have missed at least 10% of the school year are considered chronically absent/truant

     

    Consequences for Irregular Attendance

    Possible failure in class or grade level.

    Investigation by the Attendance Agent.

    Referral of student to Department of Health and Human Services (“DHHS”) action.

    Referral of parents to the Wayne County Prosecutor for prosecution.
