Unexcused Absences (Truancies)

A. A student’s absence is considered unexcused (truant) when it is without parent/guardian consent.

B. Truancies will result in the assignment of consequences (i.e., detention, Saturday School, suspension).

C. Truancies will result in loss of credit for assignments and/or performance on the day of the truancy.

D. If a student has three (3) or more days of unexcused absences, regardless of total number of absences, a conference with administration is needed.
