04 - Truancy
Students are considered truant when they miss or skip class without school approved parental permission. A vacation with an adult family member is not truancy.
Truancy is a serious offense and will result in the following actions:
- Students will be required to serve detentions equal to the amount of school time missed.
- Parent(s) will be informed of the truancy.
- Truancies will be noted on each student’s permanent cumulative record.
- A student who cuts classes, skips school, leaves without a building pass, or fails to bring in a valid excuse the next school day will receive one detention for each period missed up to eight for a full day.
IN-HOUSE TRUANCY
Skipping class to work on homework or projects is considered in-house truancy. Students who are present in the building but do not report to their class are considered truant and are subject to discipline.
