A.       Cutting Class

Every student is expected to attend all his or her classes, exams, and a scheduled activity during the day is required by School Board Policy.  Excused absence from class is only with the approval of the administration.  Non-excused absence occurs when a student does not report to class for an invalid reason or when he/she “cuts” the class or exam.  A cut is a voluntary deliberate absence from class or an exam with no administrator or teacher approval.  The consequence of a cut is zero for the work missed.

One cut per class- one office detention

2 to 5 cuts –Minimum two days of office detention and a minimum of one day of APP, subject to the discretion of the administration.  Students will also be referred to the department chairperson and parents will be notified. If the situation warrants, parents may be requested to come into school for a conference.

6^th incident – student is suspended out of school for up to 10 days and is

        referred to the Superintendent and School Board for possible exclusion.
