| Student Attendance Consistent attendance at Providence Academy is an essential part of a student’s academic obligation. Students who miss class cannot “make up” that shared classroom experience. The Attendance policy reinforces this value. Students are to attend all classes and school functions unless they receive an approved absence. We request that families schedule vacations during our designated school breaks. Parents should send signed notes notifying absences to the MS Office. Students must sign-out and every time they leave school and sign-in every time they return to school at the MS Assistant’s desk. Students are required to attend school on non-academic days such as field trips and school retreats just as they attend academic days. Middle School Students who accrue 9 or more absences of any type in any semester-long course, or 4 absences in a quarter-long class, will need to meet with the Middle School Dean of Students or Director. Along with their parents, they will develop an attendance plan to improve attendance for the rest of the school year. Students who miss 4 consecutive days of school for medical reasons may be asked to provide orders from the attending physician. |
