Policies > ABSCENCES Attendance is a character quality which we want to encourage and develop here at Grace Christian Academy. Attendance every day is very important. We urge students to be present each day unless circumstances will not allow this. PLEASE CALL THE SCHOOL OFFICE TO REPORT YOUR CHILD'S ABSENCE BY 8:30 A.M. On the day of absence, homework assignments can be picked up in the school office at 3:30 p.m. Absences of more than three days require a doctor’s excuse. If your child will be absent for any reason other than legitimate illness, a written request must be received one (1) week prior to the absence for approval by the Administrator. If a student becomes sick at school, parents or contact person on the student’s emergency card will be called. ABSENCES ARE EXCUSED ONLY FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: 1. Legitimate illness 2. Death in the immediate family 3. Doctor or dentist appointments which can not be scheduled outside school hours 4. A written trip notification and approval to be received one (1) week ahead of time by the Administrator and teacher involved. Failure to follow this procedure will result in an unexcused absence. Any other absences, unless approved by administration prior to absence will be considered unexcused. An unexcused absence means a student may not make up missed work, tests or otherwise. Any unexcused absences may affect the student's grade. When a student has been sick and unable to complete homework, he/she will be allowed twice as many school days as he/she missed to make up his/her assignments. If a student knows of an assignment several days before becoming ill, it will be his/her responsibility to have ready as much of the assignment as possible. If a student has been absent in a situation that does not prevent him/her from studying (doctor or dentist appointment), he/she is responsible for any assignments, tests, or projects without any days for make-up. Dentists and doctor appointments will not be excused if a student is unnecessarily out of school for the entire day. No student may leave the building without permission. Parents wishing to have students dismissed early or for a part of the day should send a written request to the office one (1) week prior to the dismissal stating the reason and time of dismissal. Students are not allowed to leave early for work commitments or other non-school related activities such as swim lessons, drivers education, etc. Parents should sign out and pick up the student in the office. It is the student's responsibility to talk with the teacher concerning make-up work when they are absent with an excuse. Parents and students should request a makeup schedule for any tests and quizzes that were missed. Makeup tests and quizzes are to be taken at 8 a.m. on the days designated by the teacher. |
