Attendance Policy
Attendance is mandatory!
One of the keys to to a student's success in school is regular and punctual attendance. Poor academic work and absenteeism are tied together. According to state law, it is the obligation of every parent to insure that every child under his/her care and supervision receives an adequate education and attends school. During a quarter, a student can accumulate no more than 5 absences. Once a student exceeds 5 absences in a class during the quarter, a final grade of "F" will be received for that class. If a student misses more than ten consecutive, unexcused days of classes, then she/he is dropped from school and must re-enroll in Crestview College Preparatory Schools.
If an illness or emergency occurs that keeps the student from attending school, the parent or guardian MUSTcontact to the school and explain the reason for missing classes. When the student returns, he/she is responsible for completing all work missed. In the event of a hospitalization or doctors appointment, Crestview requires a signed note from the healthcare provider.
Modifications will be made for health bereavement issues.
Health and bereavements falls into the following areas:
1. Death in the immediate family (grandparent, parent or sibling)
2. Illness that exceeds 2 or more days with medical documentation
3. Arrangements between the administrative team and the family.
If an extended absence should occur, the student must arrange a meeting with parents and teachers to discuss the coursework and class time prior to returning to classes.
All absences shall be phoned into the office on the day of the absence.
In order to receive credit for the course, the student must attend class and complete all work required at a level that is acceptable by the teacher. The schedule for make-up work is as follows:
● If work is made up within the first week, the student may receive full credit.
● Week two the students opportunity for credit on the assignments drops to 75%.
● After week two following the absence, the student is no longer eligible to receive credit for the work
Students are expected to arrive to class on time. Students arriving after the class bell rings will be counted tardy, within the first 15 minutes. Tardies will negatively impact the students grade in class. Excessive tardies contribute to loss of credit in the course.
*New ABSENT passes*
Used for students who show up more than 15 minutes late to class but before the last 15 minutes of a class period (on a Friday schedule, 10 minutes before the end of a class). Students will sign a sheet in the front office and receive a pass. The time will be entered in the students record. The student will then go to class with a PASS. The student is counted as ABSENT.
When the student has acquired his or her third tardy, the student will immediately receive administrative, disciplinary action. The same
procedure will be followed at 5 tardies and again at 7 tardies. Students will also have administrative, disciplinary action for each incident of tardiness beyond seven.

The administrative team reserves the right to provide alternative consequences to students on a case by case basis.
Truancy
Arizona State law says it is unlawful for any child between the ages of six and sixteen to fail to attend school unless they have a valid excuse. When a parent does not provide a valid excuse for the student's absence, a citation may be issued to the parent, guardian or student (LAW - ARS 15-802, 15-803, 15-804). A habitually truant student (5 absences in any combination of class periods without a valid excuse) will be issued a citation in which the parent will required to appear in court.
