IMPORTANT NOTICE - TARDY AND ABSENCE
per student handbook 2024-2025 pgs. 7&8
Tardy Policy: Students will be considered tardy if they arrive after 7:45 a.m.
Promptness is an important character trait that CCA Staff is encouraged to model and help develop in our school's students. At the same
time, promptness is the responsibility of each student. Students who are late to class show a disregard for both the teacher and their classmates, which compromises potential student achievement. Any
tardiness of more than TWENTY minutes will result in an absence for that class. If a student should be tardy, he/she will go the office to receive a tardy slip.
The following corrective measures will be administered for unexcused tardiness:
First tardy - verbal warning
Second tardy - one day of detention
Third tardy - two days of detention
Fourth tardy - three days of detention
Five or more tardies per nine weeks shall receive one day of afterschool for every tardy. Afterschool hours - 4:00-4:40 and a
$20.00/day fee.
ABSENTEE POLICY: In case of an absence, a dated parent/doctor note EXPLAINING THE REASON FOR THE ABSENCE should be taken to the main office. The note must be sent within 3 days a student returns from an absence. Students will not be allowed to receive credit for homework, quizzes, or tests until an excuse from a parent, guardian or doctor has been sent and approved as an excused absence. Students with excused absences will have 1 class day to make up their work for each class day they are absent.
An absence may be excused due to personal illness, serious illness in the family, death in the family, medical appointments, and
exceptional circumstances.
Family vacations and trips will be considered an unexcused absence and should be scheduled during school out days since it is often
difficult for a child to make up work missed during an absence.
All other absences are unexcused, and a student will not be able to receive credit for required make up work.
If a student is absent half a day, and he/she returns to school, the student is responsible for getting his/her work in the class
he/she missed. The student will be responsible for the missed work the next school day.
Unexcused absences will not receive credit in all classes, and all class time must be made up in detention.
A student who has been suspended from school for any reason will not receive credit for all required make up work in all classes
missed
If a student is ill, the parent must call the school office or contact administration by 8:30 a.m. to request make-up work. Make-up
work will be ready at the end of the school day (if requested). Teachers will not be expected to stop all duties and prepare make-up work immediately, as the teaching process for those students
present will be hindered.
