The primary purpose of the attendance policy is to encourage students to be present in their classes to attain maximum benefit from classroom activities. There is a correlation between good attendance, academic success and acceptance of responsibility. In order to support the best educational environment possible the following attendance rules are in effect at Renton Junior High.
§ The number of absences per tri-semester is a maximum of seven (7). All absences will count toward the 7 days, and it is believed that these 7 days is sufficient for all but extreme circumstances (e.g. extended illness requiring hospitalization, serious injury). § All students regardless of age are required to follow attendance sign-in and sign-out procedures. Once the student signs out, the absence begins and the student must leave school property. § Students are not normally permitted to leave school and return the same day unless they have an appointment that cannot be made after school hours. If students plan to return to school the same day, a receipt or other notification from the medical provider, court officer or other official must be presented before the student is readmitted. Exceptions to this section may be made by administration. § Students will be allowed to make up work as a result of an absence or a suspension. Responsibility for making up work rests with the student. The period of time to make up work will not exceed the number of days absent, and the absence or suspension will not alter dates of assignments previously announced. This is a warning that failure may occur if a student accumulates more than (7) absences per tri-semester. The Huron Schools participate in the “ERASE TRUANCY” program with the Wayne County Prosecutors office. Any questions regarding truancy contact the attendance office. |
