Goals of Attendance

  • The goals of our District’s attendance requirements are to:
     

    1. Contribute to the academic success of students;  
    2. Inform parents about their students' class attendance or nonattendance;  
    3. Place the responsibility for attendance in the hands of students and their parents;  
    4. Aid students in making decisions and accepting the responsibilities and consequences resulting from those decisions;  
    5. Stress that punctual and regular attendance is a learned function necessary in coping with life; 
    6. Stress attendance may impact grades and credit;  
    7. Meet Oregon graduation requirements

    Each school shall notify parents/guardians… by the end of the school day if their child has an unplanned absence. The notification will be either in person, by telephone, or by another method identified in writing by the parent/guardian. If the parent/guardian cannot be notified by the above methods, a message shall be left, if possible.    Persons having legal control of a student ages 7-18 who has not completed the 12th grade are required to have the student attend school… and maintain regular attendance…

    Direct any questions about our attendance policies to our attendance secretary, Corrina Musser.  Please be informed that there are legal actions that must be taken if students do not meet the minimum standards for regular attendance.
