Student Attendance Guidelines

Active student participation is the key to student achievement in the classroom . Teachers will design engaging lessons and activities.. Regular participation is essential for student growth, and students are expected to engage in learning activities daily. Student attendance for daily instruction will occur as follows:

  • At the middle and high school level, each teacher will take period attendance, noting whether students were present.

  • Daily attendance will be based on teacher-recorded (first period) attendance for the entire school day.
