All students who wish to appeal loss of credit
must appeal to the Attendance Review Committee by following these steps:
1) Schedule an appointment with the Attendance Review
Committee in the Attendance Office.
2) Appear before the Attendance Review Committee at the appointed time to
account for all absences and explain extenuating circumstances (10 minutes
maximum time limit for presentation). Parental attendance is strongly
encouraged.
However, if the student's absences have occurred as a result
of extenuating circumstances such as a serious/lengthy illness or personal
crisis, the student may request reinstatement of credit without appeal by
following these steps:
1) The student and/or parent may appeal for reinstatement of credit
directly to the student's administrator.
2) The administrator may either reinstate the opportunity to receive
credit or refer the issue to the Attendance Review Committee for action.
Following the hearing:
1) The Attendance Review Committee will notify students of
their decision within 3 school days.
2) The decisions of the Attendance Review Committee may be appealed to the
principal.
3) By remaining in the class and working to complete the requirements of
the course and attending regularly, the student's opportunity to earn a
credit/grade is greatly improved.
4) Regardless of appeal status failure to attend the class(es) in question
constitutes truancy and result in disciplinary action, up to and including
suspension.
