Attendance
Student Attendance Policy
In order to receive credit for a course, the student must attend class and complete all work required at a level that is acceptable by the teacher. The schedule for make-up work is as follows:
Attendance is mandatory. During a quarter, a student can accumulate no more than 3 absences. Once a student exceeds 3 absences in a class during a quarter, a final grade of "F" will be received for that class. If a student misses more than ten consecutive unexcused days of classes, he/she is dropped from school and must re-enroll in South Ridge High School.
If an illness or emergency occurs that keeps the student from attending school, the parent or guardian must contact the school and explain the reason for missing classes. When the student returns, he/she is responsible for completing all work within the week according to the teacher’s syllabus. In the event of a hospitalization or doctor’s appointment, South Ridge High School requires an original signed note from the health-care provider.
If an extended absence should occur, the student must arrange a meeting with parents and teachers to discuss the coursework and class time missed prior to returning to school.
All absences should be phoned into the office on the day of the absence. SRHS will call home for all absences – regardless of the reason.
Tardies
Students arriving after the start of class must sign in and will not be permitted to class without a late pass from the front office. Three tardies are equal to one absence. Students arriving more than 20 minutes late for class may not be permitted to attend class.
