Attendance

Maintaining regular attendance is of vital importance to succeed in school. All students are expected to attend school every day unless the student is ill, has a justified appointment, or had a death in the immediate family.

Tardiness
Students are tardy after 8:15 a.m. (Dexter). At the Dexter campus all children entering school after this time must enter the building at the Dexter Avenue entrance and obtain a tardy/admittance slip from the main office.  
​
Excessive Tardiness
Parents, guardians, and caregivers initially will be contacted by the classroom teacher if a student is consistently tardy to school.  The classroom teacher will also alert the School Leader and Truancy Officer.  Habitual tardies will be followed up by the Truancy Officer and if the tardies continue the Wayne County Prosecuting Attorney will be contacted.  Excessive tardies will cause students to miss valuable class time which may lead to missed class work resulting in failure of an academic grade.

Middle School Classroom Tardiness
Students have an allotted time to pass to their next class.  If a student is late they must sign-in the classroom and will be penalized. 

Excused Absences
If your child is going to be absent, please call the office by 8 a.m. on the day of the absence.
