ATTENDANCE POLICY

Phoenix Academy, Inc. recognizes that regular attendance is one of the most significant factors in school success and educational achievement. Therefore, the Board encourages and strongly supports every effort made to have students at school and present for all classes in order that they might benefit from a quality education. Students, parents/guardians, and all school personnel are encouraged to recognize and fulfill their individual responsibilities in keeping with laws, regulations, and school policies governing the attendance of students in school.

Students play the leading role in the responsibility for remediation losses incurred through absence from school. School staff members will cooperate in these remediation efforts, but the student must take the initiative to request make-up work immediately upon returning to school, and even prior to the absence if the situation allows. Effort must be made by the student to complete all make-up work on a schedule set by the teacher and if possible before the end of the affected grading period.
