Attendance Policy
Regular school attendance and punctuality are essential to ensure your child’s academic success and maximize learning. By attending classes consistently, they can fully engage with the curriculum, grasp important concepts, and stay on top of their learning. Your support in fostering these habits will positively impact their academic journey and overall growth. Let’s work together for their success! Our school motto is “Be Here! Every Day. All the Way!”
Absences
If your child is absent, upon returning to school, he/she needs to bring a note from home within three days explaining the reason for the absence or send a note via email to 3861attendance@dadeschools.net On the subject line, place the date and attendance note. Example: 7/6/22 Attendance Note. Parents will be contacted to meet with the school’s Attendance Review Committee when a student is absent 5 or more days.
Tardies
Arriving late disrupts learning continuity, hinders academic progress, and can lead to missed opportunities for understanding and participation crucial to student success. Given that punctuality is a component of attendance, students with three or more tardies in one grading period may not be eligible to receive Perfect Attendance awards. Late students must stop in the office for a late pass.
