Attendance Policy

Good attendance is a crucial component in the success of your child’s education.

All students should be well aware of the UCPS attendance policy

 (Links to an external site.) beginning on page 13 of the UCPS HS Handbook.

In the event that a student is absent it is UP TO THE STUDENT to see his or her teachers and obtain makeup work.

High School Attendance Procedures from MHS Handbook

Absences

Parents are encouraged to schedule students’ medical and personal appointments for after regular school hours.  Parents should also ensure that their student arrives on time each day.

All students and parents are responsible for being familiar with Union County Public Schools High School attendance policies as outlined in the UCPS High School Student Handbook. Monroe DOES take DAILY attendance in each class.  Attendance records are maintained based on the attendance taken each day in each period/class.  A student who misses more than 15 minutes of a class will be considered absent for that class.  Class work missed as a result of an excused absence may be made up for credit within two days of returning from the absence (or four days if returning from a two days absence…). Parents are responsible for monitoring their student’s absences and should request a meeting with the attendance counselor if their student has five unexcused absences in a class. Seven or more absences in a class may result in failure of that class.

• A student is considered tardy if they are not in class when the bell rings at the beginning of a period.
• Students who are late for school because the school bus was late will be given a late bus pass by an administrator when they arrive and will not be counted as tardy.
•       Students who are late for first period must report to the front office for admittance.
•       Students who miss more than 15 minutes of a class will be marked absent in that class.

Students' Responsibilities for Absences/Tardies/Early Dismissals

Absence Excuses:  Students absent from any or all classes are required to abide by the following procedures:

1. Written documentation by the parent or guardian stating the dates absent must be presented within three days after the first day the student returns to school stating the reason(s) the absence(s) was necessary.  If the absence is for a doctor's appointment, a note from the doctor's office is required.
2. Documentation (handwritten note from parent or doctor) of absence should be given to the attendance counselor.  Absences that are not supported by the proper documentation will be coded as unexcused regardless of the reason for the absence.
3. Excuses for tardiness which results in a missed class(es) and early dismissals are            handled in the same manner as any other absence.

Early Dismissal:  Students needing to be dismissed prior to the end of the school day must bring written parental permission to leave school.

1.  Bring parent note to the attendance counselor to obtain a dismissal pass before school.  (Parent notes must include parent signature and phone number.) Under no circumstances can a student leave campus without signing out and without appropriate permission.

OR

If sick, the student will be called down from the nurse’s office or classroom once a parent has arrived to take them home.  For students that have MHS parking passes, a parent will have to fax or email permission (either must include a contact phone number for parent) for the student to leave school.

1. Students with MHS parking passes may sign themselves out in the front office provided they have presented written parental permission and obtained a dismissal pass from the attendance counselor before school.  Parents who will be picking their student up must come into the front office to check them out. Parents – please be prepared to show proper picture identification when coming into the office to check out your student. If a situation arises that a student needs to be released during the school day but a parent or listed emergency contact will not be personally picking the student up, parents must provide written authorization (fax or email which included a copy of the parent’s driver’s license) to release the student with a specific individual.  That individual must present proper identification in the front office when picking the student up.
2. Marketing/Co-op students should see the Work Based Learning Coordinator for check-out procedures.
3. Work release students must leave the campus immediately after their last class or lunch, whichever is deemed appropriate.  Work release students are not permitted to return to campus unless they are here attending a school sponsored activity, i.e. athletics, band performance, club meeting, etc.
4. Students with non-traditional schedules are to report to ISS if they are on campus during a period which they do not normally have an assigned class.
