General Information & Policies

Trespassing Policy

Students are reminded that being on another school campus during regular school hours is trespassing. The School District has a zero tolerance policy for trespassing. If you are found on another school campus, you will be arrested and suspended for 10 days.

Attendance
Absentee calls are excused because of the reason of the absence. A parent must call the Attendance Office at 754-322-0802 and give the reason for the absence or it will not be excused. When a parent calls in to excuse an absence, the following information must be given:

  • Parent’s Name
  • Student’s Name
  • Student’s Identification Number
  • Reason for Absence
  • Date(s) of Absence
  • Parent(s) and /or Guardian(s) must call the absence in within a 48 hour period from the absence.

For a Permitted Absence and/or an extended absence, you must arrange it with the Attendance Office at least 5 days in advance.

Sign In/Sign Outs
A parent, guardian, or designated person on the emergency card must come in to the Attendance Office to sign the student out. If the person is not listed on the emergency card, they will not be permitted to sign the student out. The sign in/sign out will be excused depending on the reason. A student can not be signed out by way of a phone call from the parent, guardian or the designated person. Students who leave campus without signing out will be considered unexcused.

Parents coming in to sign out students during a lunch period are not permitted to enter the cafeteria and must wait until their child’s lunch period ends to sign the child out of school
