Attendance Policies
SCHOOL TARDIES
A school tardy is defined as a student not being in their assigned seminar class by the beginning
of the school day (7:40 a.m. on a regular school day). A student that is late to their seminar
class must report to the front office/attendance desk to receive an excused/unexcused admit
slip. Once school has begun, students tardy to school must enter the building through the
main office and sign-in to receive an excused/unexcused admit slip.
Students may receive three (3) excused tardies to school per semester with a parent note. The
administration reserves the right to decide upon the validity of the tardiness.
Unexcused tardiness to school will be handled by semester according to the following
guidelines:
1st tardy to school
verbal warning
2nd tardy to school Parent phone call
3rd tardy to school school detention
4th tardy to school
referral to administration for FASP
5th or more tardy
FASP and loss of driving privileges

Academic Support Process
What do we want students to learn?
How will we know if students have learned it?
What will we do if they don’t learn it?
What will we do if they already know it?
Introduction: This is a support process that is on a continuum to
monitor student progress at intervals of every three weeks. At every
three week period, school personnel will evaluate student progress and
begin the process of intervention according to the student’s place on
the continuum. When a student moves from failing to passing the
intervention begins at the beginning stages. The intervention takes
place during our Raider Achievement Program Time (R.A.P.).

Academic Support Process
II. Three week mark of grading period
Teachers ExpectationCommunicate personally with student.
Teacher makes parent contact (phone, email or letter) and recommends tutoring in R.A.P.
designated room.
Teacher may recommend mandatory tutoring during R.A.P if they deem it necessary at this
time.
Teacher records contact and referral in Infinite Campus. (If recommending mandatory, teacher
must also fill out triplicate form to be turned into appropriate administrator.)
Administration ExpectationGuidance Secretary will provide list of all students who are failing at this progress report
interval to the appropriate administrator.
Voluntary tutoring teachers will maintain an attendance folder for use by administrators upon
request.
At the end of each week, the voluntary tutoring teachers will forward an electronic attendance
list of students who have attended the R.A.P voluntary tutoring to the administrator in
charge of program (Mr. Niemi).
