Attendance Policy

Absences – TN Legislators passed new laws for attendance during the 2022-2023 sessions. In these changes, all school districts in the state are required to have a Progressive Truancy Plan. The details of this plan will be distributed by way of the media, on our website, and by our Principals during the summer and at the beginning of the school year. Attendance is mandatory and important to workforce habits that we are attempting to create and conform as our students are working to become work ready. Please see the attendance plan attached.

 

Tardy – Students are considered tardy any time after 7:45 AM. Students are to sign into the office if they come into the building any time after 7:45 AM. Excessive tardiness will result in disciplinary action.

 

Leaving Campus – Students who need to leave campus before class is over are to come by the office and sign out. Parent signature is required if the student is under 18 years of age. Parents should make every effort to schedule appointments after school hours. If a student needs to be picked-up before the dismissal time of 2:45 PM., they will only be released to a parent or guardian listed on their application. If that parent or guardian is unable to come to the campus to pick-up the student, the child will only be released to another adult over the age of 18 with a letter from the parent or guardian giving permission to do so.
