<p><strong><font color="blue" face=""><font size="5"><font></font></font></font></strong>The
Blue Springs School District recognizes that the best learning
opportunity for a student is classroom interaction with the teacher
and other students. That makes attendance very important. When a
students misses school, regardless of the reason, valuable
experiences have been missed. Good attendance also helps students of
all ages learn the value of attendance and punctuality. It helps
students in the maturation process as they learn responsibility for
their actions. Good attendance affects the student's behavior,
attitude, learning, and overall school success. Being at school is
the student's job. It is the district's hope that
parents will support and encourage good attendance. Parents are a
key ingredient in this process. We encourage parents to help by
scheduling appointments, vacations, outings, etc. outside the school
day. Each school keeps students/parents informed about absences.
Upon the sixth absence and again on the tenth absence, the school
will notify the student's parents by letter.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>District Absentee Policy
(5.51.3)</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong>1.&nbsp; A parent should
notify their student's school attendance office by phone for each
day of a student's absence.</p>
<p>2.&nbsp; If the school is not notified by
the parent, the school will initiate contact with the parent.&nbsp;
Students who return to school without being excused by their parent
will maintain an unexcused absence until the parent provides
appropriate verification of the absence.</p>
<p>3.&nbsp; Absences will be classified as
excused or unexcused by the school district:</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; a.&nbsp; Excused Absence
- an excused absence will include any absence due to legitimate
medical issues, religious observances and those absences related to
a student's disability.&nbsp; With any planned, excused absence, it
is recommended that the parents contact the school prior to the
planned absence and make advanced arrangements for class work.&nbsp;
All work missed due to an excused absence may be made up according
to the guidelines in the school's student handbook.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; b.&nbsp; Unexcused
Absence - Student not excused from school by a parent may be
considered truant.&nbsp; Students must have parental consent to leave
school during the school day, and appropriately check out of school
through the school's attendance office.&nbsp; Students choosing not
to follow this procedure will be considered unexcused.&nbsp; Work
may not be made up due to unexcused absence.&nbsp; Parents/students
who violate the state compulsory attendance law will be referred to
the appropriate authorities.</p>
<p>4.&nbsp; To keep parents aware of their
student's absences, the school will attempt to notify the parent by
letter when the student's absence in any class reaches 10
days.&nbsp; Appropriate notification to a jparent or a conference
may be initiated to address attendance issues.</p>
<p>5.&nbsp; Excessive absences could result in
a student's loss of academic credit after the student has been
afforded a full due process hearing before the board of
education.</p>
