Each student is required to be present for morning attendance in full uniform and prepared to begin work at 8:40 a.m. On days with alternate schedules, students are to be prepared to begin class at the indicated time.
ABSENCE FROM SCHOOL
When a student is absent, a parent/guardian is requested to inform the school between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. on the day of the absence. If the parent/guardian is unable to phone the school, a note from the parent/guardian explaining the reason for the absence is required when the student returns to school. Please see the Code of Behaviour for more information regarding attendance.
Lates
Students will be given consequences for repeated lates. These may include detentions, suspensions or community service, depending on the circumstances. Consequences will be given at the discretion of school administration.
Skips/Truancy
It is a student’s responsibility to attend all classes scheduled on his/her timetable. Skips are unacceptable. The school must have accurate information regarding students’ attendance at all times. If a student chooses to be absent from class without parent or school permission, the absence will be considered a skip. A student may be given a suspension at the discretion of the principal. Habitual skips will result in further suspensions or other interventional strategies by administration and School-Based Support Team.
