Attendance ATTENDANCE

Attendance shall be required of all students enrolled in the school during the days and hours that the school is in session, except that a principal or teacher may excuse a student for temporary absences when he/she receives satisfactory evidence of such mental, physical, or other urgent conditions which may reasonably cause the student’s absence.
It should be noted, credit for the year may be withdrawn when a student acquires absences totaling twenty (20) or more days unless there are extenuating circumstances. District-wide guidelines for attendance
Students arriving after 7:45 AM but before 10:30 AM are considered tardy.
Students arriving after 10:30 AM but before 12:30 PM are considered AM absence.
Students arriving after 12:30 PM will be considered a full day absence.
Students leaving before 12:30 PM will be considered a PM absence.
******Students arriving after 10:30 AM will be ineligible to participate in any extracurricular activity on that day unless there is documentation that is handed into the office showing their presence at an approved appointment. ABSENCE
As soon as a student returns to school after any absence, he/she should return an excuse
note, or doctor’s statement to the office or by email to hs_attendance@jtasd.org. This excuse note is to be completed by a parent indicating the reason for the absence and is to be signed by the parent. It is to be returned within THREE DAYS of the student’s return to school or the absence will be considered unexcused. If a student is out for three or more consecutive days, there MUST be a Doctor’s certificate handed in, not a parent note, in order for the days to be excused. Once a student accrues fifteen (15) days of absence, a Doctor’s certificate must be handed in for each day of absence thereafter, a parent’s note will cause the days to be considered unexcused. Administration has the option to call and verify doctor’s notes.
In case of truancy and/or forged excuses, the absence will be unexcused and the parent will be notified and the detention policy will be enforced.
Parents and students can be fined following their child’s third day of unexcused or illegal absence from school, and they are therefore urged to send an excuse with the student on the day following the student absence.
Students subjected to truancy fines can lose their driver’s license for a period of time.
