After each absence or tardy, the automated calling system will send a notification to the primary phone number on file for that student. Missing more than fifteen minutes in any class period is considered an absence. Teachers may choose to offer incentives for good attendance including extra points on exams or final averages as stated in their beginning of course syllabus. 1. Excused Absences: A student shall be allowed three (3) excused absences per course per grading period. Parent notes

and/ or appropriate documentation with regards to these absences are required to be turned in within 48 hours of stu-dent’s return to school. In addition, the following reasons will be excused with proper documentation. a. Medical absences accompanied by a doctor’s note b. Court Appearance accompanied by a court notice c. Death in the family accompanied by a parent note d. Exceptional Circumstances as approved by the principal e. Approved pre-arranged absences for family trips or college visits upon the following the proper procedures listed

a. Four (4) or more unexcused absences in any course in one grading period will result in a student earning a failing grade with a maximum grade of 59 for that course.

b. A student will not necessarily fail the course as this will be dependent upon the grades earned in the remaining grading periods and the exam grades.

c. Every third tardy in any given course within one grading period will count as an unexcused absence. A tardy is defined as arriving to class after the tardy bell but before fifteen minutes of class time has elapsed.

3. Prearranged Absences: The student must obtain a prearranged absence form from the attendance office well in ad-vance of the absence. The parent/guardian must sign the form, and then the student must secure the signature of every teacher for every class in which he/she is currently enrolled.

The students receive a real world experience of college expectations. Dual Enrollment Dual Enrollment is an acceleration option that allows high school students to pursue an advanced curriculum and to earn college credit, increasing the likelihood of postsecondary success and reducing the time to degree. This successful program has allowed thousands of students to simultaneously earn credit toward certificate or degree from an eligible postsecondary institution as well as credit toward high school graduation. An eligible student must be enrolled in a Lake County School Board public secondary school advancing on a curriculum track which satisfies the state mandated high school graduation requirements.
