Attendance:
For our students to have perfect attendance there can be no late check ins or early check outs. They must be in attendance every minute of each school day. A written statement, within two (2) school days of the student's return to school, shall be required from the parent or guardian explaining the reason for each absence. (ACS Policy 6.200)
We will be strictly following Policy 6.200 which states: “Students with an unexcused absence will be provided the opportunity to make up missed work for up to five (5) unexcused absences.” Therefore, any unexcused absence over five days will result in zeroes on all graded work. Please keep in mind that any vacations taken during the school year will be counted as an unexcused absence. Also, absences for which no written verification is submitted within 2 days will be considered unexcused.
Students who check-in late or check-out early due to doctor or dentist’s appointments should bring in a note/appointment card from the doctor within 2 days so that the absence can be excused. Otherwise, it will be marked unexcused.

Below are the criteria for excused absences. All absences must be verified in writing by the parent within two (2) days of the student’s return to school.
* Personal illness - physician verification will be required after the accumulation of ten (10) days of absence
* Serious illness of immediate family member
* Death in the family
* Religious observances
* Legal court summons not the result of the student’s misconduct
* Circumstances which in the judgment of the principal create emergencies over which the student has no control.

Make-Up Work:
If a child has an extended illness or has less than 5 unexcused days, the parent may request make-up work from the teacher provided the teacher has been give 24 hours’ notice. However, graded assignments are required to be completed during school hours.
