ATTENDANCE POLICY
Attendance is one of the most important factors in determining a child’s success in school. When a student is absent from class, it is impossible to recreate the situation that existed during that absence. Make-up work cannot take the place of having been in the classroom when instruction was given. Therefore, it is important that each student be in the classroom every day possible. The habits of today will carry over to tomorrow. Students must learn responsibility, and as they grow older, assume responsibility for regular attendance.
In order to provide this kind of experience, the following attendance policy will be followed at Rock Hills Jr/Sr High School. KSA 72-1113 defines truancy as: Whenever a child is required by law to attend school and is enrolled in school, and the child is inexcusably absent on either three consecutive school days or five school days in any semester or seven school days in any school year, whichever of the foregoing occurs first, the child shall be considered to be not attending school as required by law. A child is inexcusably absent from school if the child is absent there from all or a significant part of a school day without a valid excuse acceptable to the school employee designated by the Board of Education to have responsibility for the school attendance of such child. Federal education law (ESSA) defines chronic absenteeism as a student being absent (excused or unexcused) from school 10% or more of scheduled school time. RHJSHS tracks and reports to parents and Kansas Department of Education when a student is chronically absent. The building principal is authorized by the USD 107 Board of Education to determine whether individual student absences will be recorded as “excused” or “unexcused” For the safety of your child, it is important for you to call the school when your child is absent. If you have not called by 8:30 a.m., the school will make a phone call to you to verify the absence
For an excused absence, students will be given one day plus the number of days absent to complete their work. Therefore, if a student has an excused absence they have one extra day to make up the homework or any assessment they missed. This has to be done by the time they enter the room at the end of the grace period (example - If you are gone on Tuesday and you miss an assignment it is due on Thursday when you enter that class. If you miss an assessment you are responsible for making arrangements to have that assessment taken prior to the start of that class on Thursday. For participation grade based classes you are responsible for making contact with that teacher and either making up the time or turning in an alternate assignment as determined by that teacher to earn those participation points prior to the start of that class on Thursday). If it is an unexcused absence all of the same is true but there is no grace day so all of the homework, tests, or alternate assignment are due on Wednesday by the time you walk into the class (you cannot make up the test during that class time you must have made arrangements to get it done before the start of that class period). If these deadlines are not met it is an automatic zero. In the case of an Out of School Suspension, it is the responsibility of the student to access lesson plans or make contact with the teacher to ensure they are aware of all missed work during the OSS. Following the OSS all missed work is due at the time they enter that class. This includes alternate assignments for participation based classes. Students are given one day to arrange to make up any assessments missed during the OSS. The missed assessments must be made up prior to entering that class the following class day or a zero will be issued. Extended projects with set due dates are excluded from receiving additional days due to absence (ex. If a student is given 2 weeks to work on a report and the report is due on Thursday at the end of the 2 weeks and the student is absent 1 day during that assignment period, the student is not given one additional day from the due date. Administration will contact students and parents upon a student meeting the threshold of 40 missed class periods to alert the student and parents of the level of absences and to begin a dialogue to hopefully avoid a student reaching chronic absenteeism.
