Thanks to our sponsors, Warhawk Students will again have free admission to all regular-season home events for the 24/25 school year. Attendance All students are expected to attend school regularly and to be on time. Students and their parents are expected to make attendance a top priority. Regular attendance and promptness are necessary for getting the maximum value from the instructional program and for developing habits of punctuality, self-discipline, and responsibility. Class participation is vital to learning, and learning lost due to an absence can never be replaced. Students with good attendance records engage more, earn better grades, enjoy school to a greater degree, and are more successful after leaving school. Good attendance fosters a lifelong pattern of responsibility. To monitor chronic absenteeism, letters will be sent home after 4.57, and 10 absences quarterly. - 10% Absenteeism: When a student’s absences reach 10%, parents will be sent a certified letter regarding attendance, and the county attorney will also be notified. NOTE: There is no distinction between excused and unexcused absences. - 15% Absenteeism: If the absence rate reaches 15%, a mandatory meeting with the county attorney will be held to set attendance agreements and expectations.

Please note that if the state provides guidance that this goes by quarterly grading periods, 4.5 absences for any reason (with the exception of absences for items such as school activities or the specific ones already allowed by the law) would trigger those steps above as required by the state. We know this could easily impact when and how you schedule your vacations, especially if done during the traditional cold and flu season, or when doctor’s appointments are scheduled. The new laws will impact all students and families who reach these thresholds.
