Skipping Policy


Skipping Policy:

Cutting class/skipping school is defined as any unauthorized absence from school or class. Students who skip or cut class will receive a discipline consequence, which may include Lunch Detention, ISS, suspended parking privileges, etc. Once students arrive on campus for the day, they may not leave campus prior to 2:10 p.m. without following the early dismissal procedures. This rule also applies if a student leaves campus before the official start of the school day. Skipping is considered an unexcused absence and the School Board attendance policy will be followed.

 

Skipping Consequences:

  • 3 days of lunch detention; parent will be notified of the absence through the school’s automated phone system.

  • 5 days of lunch detention; parent will receive a phone call home.
