• Absences are unexcused unless the parent has notified the school of the reason for non-attendance, and it is a board approved reason. 
• Students who do not check in may be marked with an unexcused absence for the day. 
• The Student Absence Notification form may be used to code a student's attendance event in lieu of a parent’s written note, if the absence is for a board approved reason.  
• If the student has already accumulated 9 full day equivalent parent authorized absences, the Principal must review the absence documentation and determine if the absence should be excused or unexcused.  (9 full days is calculated by total minutes absent and an accumulation of any/all parent authorized codes).
• Student attendance notes must be filed in individual student files, labeled Last Name, First Name, sorted alphabetically
• At the end of each school year you should store all attendance documentation in the approved box clearly labeled and appropriately stored in your building.

There are instances when a blocker course should be used to record attendance for students.  These courses start with an "N" and should already be loaded on your course deck for your use.  These blocker courses are available to use in every school; however, the course may need to have sections added before students can be scheduled.  Students scheduled in these courses must be marked absent daily.

Cross enrolled students that do not attend their Home school due to a secondary enrollment to a program MUST be scheduled into the appropriate blocker course at the home school. The schedule start date must match the secondary enrollment date. This can be found on the enrollment tab.  Click here for a full > Blocker Course List
