At the beginning of grade 9, all students are assigned a PEP teacher.

Why a PEP? To develop a relationship with at least one significant adult in the school.

Students will meet on a regular basis with that teacher and those students.

A student will remain with that PEP teacher and class until he/she graduates.

Students will receive report cards 4 times per year - November, February, April and June.

Interim reports may be sent home if deemed necessary by classroom teacher.

Parents are required to notify the school office for an absence.

Parents will be notified on a daily basis by a computerized voice message system when a student isabsent from a class.

The school administration must be advised if a studentmust miss school for an extended period of time.

When a student reaches three unjustified absences in one course, teachers will contact a parent to address their concern regardingattendance.

When a student reaches five unjustified absences in one course, a member of the student services team will meet with the student, contact the parents and an attendance letter will be mailed home.

When a student reaches eight unjustified absences in one course, the school administration will meet with the student and contact the parents. At this time, the student may be put on an attendance contract.

When a student is tardy, he/she will report to the office to receive a late slip.

If the student’s tardiness persists, a member of the student services team will meet with the student and set up a plan for success. The parents will be contacted.

A student is considered absent when they are more than 20 minutes late for class.
