Inclement Weather Plan
With cooler weather on the horizon, we encourage all families to formulate alternative plans for students in case weather should force the early cancellation of school. If students know what to do ahead of time, it reduces the stress of last minute planning both for the students and parents.

Attendance
An absence/tardy is unexcused without a valid excuse. The principal shall be responsible for determining the validity of offered excuses for absences/tardies from school. Unexcused absences/tardies may result in disciplinary action appropriate to each grade level which includes, but is not limited to, detention, in-school suspension, or Saturday School. Unexcused absences/tardies may also result in a student being reported to appropriate authorities. Students with excessive absences/tardies may be required to provide additional documentation.

Administrators will communicate with parents to insure every effort is made to encourage regular school attendance by all students. Letters will be mailed, per compulsory school attendance law, when students receive three (3) consecutive unexcused absences or five (5) unexcused absences in a semester or seven (7) unexcused absences in a school year (see JBD-R and JBE). In addition, a letter will be mailed when any student accumulates ten (10) or more absences, excused or unexcused, in one semester.

Field Trips
No student will be allowed to leave the building on a field study trip without a signed permission slip on file. These slips must be on file the day before the trip. No phone calls or faxes will be accepted. Students will not be allowed to call home. Student must ride the bus to and from the field trip.
