| <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> </p> | |
| <p><strong>District Absentee Policy | |
| (5.51.3)</strong></p> | |
| <p><strong></strong>1. A parent should | |
| notify their student's school attendance office by phone for each | |
| day of a student's absence.</p> | |
| <p>2. If the school is not notified by | |
| the parent, the school will initiate contact with the parent. | |
| 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. Absences will be classified as | |
| excused or unexcused by the school district:</p> | |
| <p> a. 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. 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. | |
| All work missed due to an excused absence may be made up according | |
| to the guidelines in the school's student handbook.</p> | |
| <p> b. Unexcused | |
| Absence - Student not excused from school by a parent may be | |
| considered truant. Students must have parental consent to leave | |
| school during the school day, and appropriately check out of school | |
| through the school's attendance office. Students choosing not | |
| to follow this procedure will be considered unexcused. Work | |
| may not be made up due to unexcused absence. Parents/students | |
| who violate the state compulsory attendance law will be referred to | |
| the appropriate authorities.</p> | |
| <p>4. 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. Appropriate notification to a jparent or a conference | |
| may be initiated to address attendance issues.</p> | |
| <p>5. 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> | |
