Attendance/Bell Times/Getting To School
Attendance
It is very important that your child has regular attendance in order to have continuous educational progress. If your child is absent, absences must have a written or verbal explanation provided by the parent/guardian within 48 hours of the child's return to school. An absence for which no acceptable explanation is received shall be unexcused.
children must be in attendance a minimum of 90%
In order to be unconditionally recommended for promotion to the next grade, children must be in attendance a minimum of 90% of the instructional time scheduled for that school/grade. All absences, excused and unexcused, shall be included in the calculation of the 90% attendance minimum. The Principal shall review all students' attendance records reflecting absenteeism and will make a determination regarding recommendation for retention. Parents/Guardians will be notified, in writing, of any recommendation for retention due to absenteeism. Ten consecutive missed days will result in your child being unenrolled from school.

make up work
A student absent fewer than two days will receive all make-up work upon his/her return to school. You may call the office to request homework if your student is absent more than two days. Students have the same number of days to turn in missed work as they were absent.
tardies
When a child arrives after 7:30am, he/she is tardy. A tardy between 7:30 and 7:45am will be recorded by the classroom teacher. Children who arrive later that 7:45am must check in at the office for a tardy pass. Excessive tardiness will be reported to TPS Enrollment Center.
