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.
