A Message from the Attendance Office Personal responsibility is one of the foundational aspects of preparing our students for life after high school. With that being said, one of the prime responsibilities of our students is to BE ON TIME for school. Whenever a student is late for school, they must fill out an admission slip which are located in the attendance office. The student is to report immediately to the Attendance Office upon arriving late for school. If no one is in the Attendance Office please see someone in the Main Office. Lateness due to a professional appointment (doctor, dentist, therapist, etc.) will be excused as long as documentation is provided. Anyone arriving after 9 AM without a doctor’s note or professional note will NOT be permitted to participate in any after school events, practices or games that day.
