Students will be allowed one absence per course for illness and emergencies. Being tardy 30 minutes or more constitutes an absence. Four tardies of less than 30 minutes will constitute an absence. Upon a second absence, students may appeal to the summer learning administrator for a waiver. Only cases in which both absences are deemed beyond the control of the student and parent(s) will the student receive a one-day extension. Students having two absences who do not receive a favorable ruling from the summer learning administrator will forfeit credit for the course.
