ATTENDANCE FOR SENIORS-VERY IMPORTANT

In order to participate in the graduation ceremony and prom, all Seniors must attend school on a regular basis. Seniors that have more than 10 unexcused absences will not be able to participate in the graduation ceremony. The purpose of this policy is to provide a proactive means of increasing our school’s graduation and attendance rates. This also prepares our students for real-world expectations regarding the attendance for future employment and/or education. This also includes students who plan on graduating early.
