Bell Times/Transportation

Good attendance is vital to the academic success of every student. Students attending secondary schools (or enrolled in grades typically defined as middle or high school grades) shall be in attendance a minimum of ninety percent (90%) of the instructional time scheduled for any class/course in that school (or grade) and make satisfactory academic progress to be unconditionally recommended for a passing grade. All absences (excused and unexcused) shall be included in the calculation of the 90% attendance minimum except excused absences for religious holidays, participation in a military funeral honors ceremony, or extracurricular activities that do not exceed the maximum number allowed shall not be counted for the purpose of determining a student's eligibility for promotion/credit or revocation of transfer. The maximum number of absences for activities, whether sponsored by the school or outside agency/organization, which removes any student from the classroom shall be ten for any one class period of each school year.

We provide bus transportation for:

Parents must notify the school prior to students being checked out. Parents must come to the main office and show a photo ID prior to checking a student out. Parents/Guardians must sign the record book indicating that they are checking their student out early and the reason for such. The parent or guardian must be listed on the student’s “pick up” list on Powerschool or the student will not be allowed to leave with the adult.

Students are expected to be in their seats at the start of the class period. If the student is tardy for class, they must go to the main office to get a tardy pass. We encourage students to be on time for school and all classes. If a student is going to be late, it is the parent's responsibility to notify the attendance office before 9:30 am.
