Attendance Policy
Students are to be in attendance and on time daily. If a child is absent, the parent should assume responsibility for providing a written excuse for the child’s absence upon his or her return to school.
1. Tardiness:
The school is required to keep and report student attendance by the State Department of Education. Students who are tardy must be accompanied by a parent and go to the school office to obtain a tardy slip before going to their classroom. Upon entering the classroom, the student must give the teacher his or her tardy slip. Consistent tardiness will result in a conference with the parents, teacher and the Director.
A student in kindergarten is considered tardy if he or she arrives after 9:30 am.
2. Absences:
Excused absences include illness, death in the family or religious holiday. If a student has more than ten (10) unexcused absences during a semester, The Learning Academy school board will review the situation and decide whether or not the student will receive credit for that semester.
If a student is absent for two or more consecutive days, the parent should call the school to report the absence.
3. Make up work:
School work missed due to absences and/or tardiness must be made up within 24 hours. If a student is absent for two or more days, homework assignments can be requested through the school office. Requests for homework assignments should be made before 10:00 a.m. and may be picked up by the parent at 2:30 pm the same day.
4. Early Dismissal:
