Student - Parent Handbook

Telephone
The heavy requirements of our lines make it impossible for us to allow students to use the office phones for regular calls. For the convenience of the students, a pay phone is available. Students are required to secure a pass before using the phone.

Unexcused Absences
Work missed during periods of unexcused absences cannot be made up and will be graded zero. Excessive unexcused absences (and tardiness) may result in withdrawal from school. No refunds on tuition are made because of absences. Note: Compulsory school attendance laws require us to notify the school district in which you reside if your child has been absent three or more days during the term without lawful excuse.

Visitors and Visiting Classes
Parents may visit classes from time to time if the proper arrangements have been made. It is requested that no visits be scheduled during the first six weeks or within the last two weeks of any semester. The arrangements must be made through the school office at least twenty-four hours in advance. No visitor or outsider may speak or perform unless permission is secured from the administration. This includes guest speakers and lecturers in the classroom. No student may use the name of the school on any radio or TV program or in any publication without prior authorization from the school administration.

Withdrawing from School
Withdrawals from school must be made in advance by parents through the school office. A written notice is required. A student wishing to withdraw should report to the office upon arrival on his final day and secure a form to be presented to each teacher. The teacher will give a grade for work done to date, collect the textbook and materials, and initial the form. Upon completion of the day, the pupil must turn in the completed form at the office.
