Truancy
Truancy is when a student; a) leaves the campus without permission from the office; b) comes to school but does not attend any or all classes; c) is somewhere other than at school when the parents think the student is at school; d) obtains permission from a teacher or the office to go to a certain place on campus, but does not go there; or e) brings a parent signed note that is forged or sets forth an invalid reason for the absence. Students who are truant from school are expected and encouraged to remain current with class assignments. They will not be allowed to make up missed school work for credit during the time of truancy. disciplinary action will be taken as per the students discipline code. There are no school-sanctioned "skip" days. Students who participate in organized skip day activities will be considered truant regardless of parental consent.
Truancy is a "problem creator." Avoid such acts and your life will be much easier.

Tardy
After a student has been tardy to a class three times during a semester, the student will be subject to the discipline code.
Life is much easier for a student if they arrive at classes on time. Why miss an educational opportunity? Why sit in detention?
