Attendance (SB Policy #204)Attendance shall be required of all students enrolled in district schools during the days and hours that school is in session, except that a principal may excuse a student for temporary absences when receiving satisfactory evidence of mental, physical, or other urgent reasons that may rea-sonably cause the student’s absence.

Excused AbsencesThe School Board considers the following conditions to constitute reasonable cause for ab-sence from school and, provided the proper procedures are followed, will be considered an excused, or legal, absence from school. (1) Illness; (2) Quarantine; (3) Recovery from accident; (4) Required court attendance; (5) Death in family; (6) Family educational trips; (7) Educational tours and trips.

The Board shall, upon written request of the parents/guardians, release from attendance a student participating in a religious instruction program acknowledged by the Board. Such instruction shall not require the child’s absence from school for more than thirty-six (36) hours per school year, and its organizers must inform the Board of the child’s attendance record. The Board shall not provide transportation to religious instruction. A penalty shall not be attached to an absence for religious instruction. The Board shall permit a student to be excused for participation in a project sponsored by a statewide or county wide 4-H, FFA, or combined 4-H and FFA group upon written request prior to the event. The Board will recognize other justifiable absences for part of the school day. These shall include medical or dental appointments, court appearances, family emergencies, college visitations, and urgent reasons. Students age 18 and over may write their own excuses, unless deemed otherwise by the principal.

Unexcused/Unlawful AbsencesAbsences will be considered unexcused/unlawful for the following occurrences: 1) Absence through parental neglect (including hunting and fishing), 2) Illegal employment, 3) Truancy, 4) Missing the school bus, 5) Working at home, 6) Baby sitting, 7) Personal reasons unless excused by the principal. A student receiving an unexcused /unlawful absence may make up missed work with a one-letter grade penalty, provided the work is made up within five (5) school days in order to receive any credit.

Unlawful Absences (for students under 17 years of age)First Unlawful Absence– Parent/Guardian receives a notice of unlawful absence from the school district.Second Unlawful Absence– Parent/Guardian receives a second notice of unlawful absence which explains legal penalties associated with violation of compulsory attendance requirements.Third Unlawful Absence– Certified letter is sent to Parent/Guardian notifying them the next unlawful absence will result in proceedings being initiated against parent and/or student with the local magistrate.

For students at least 17 years of age, appropriate disciplinary measures may be utilized in lieu of filing charges with the local magistrate on the fourth unexcused absence.

After ten (10) days of cumulative lawful absences verified by parental (not medical) notification, the superintendent or superintendent’s designee may require a physician’s (doctor’s) excuse for each subsequent absence. The physician’s excuse will be used to determine if the absence will be excused.

Students who miss ten (10) consecutive school days shall be dropped from the active member-ship roll unless evidence is provided to the school that there is a legal excuse.

Procedure for Reporting Students AbsentWhen a student is absent from school, parents are requested to call the high school office at (724) 932-3186 between 7:15 and 8:00 am. A telephone call is made to the home of all absentees unless a student has been reported absent that morning. Following an absence, a student must present a signed excuse to the high school secretary before 8:00 am. If a signed excuse is not turned in within five (5) schools days, the absence will be considered to be unexcused.

Attendance (SB Policy #204)Attendance shall be required of all students enrolled in district schools during the days and hours that school is in session, except that a principal may excuse a student for temporary absences when receiving satisfactory evidence of mental, physical, or other urgent reasons that may rea-sonably cause the student’s absence.

Excused AbsencesThe School Board considers the following conditions to constitute reasonable cause for ab-sence from school and, provided the proper procedures are followed, will be considered an excused, or legal, absence from school. (1) Illness; (2) Quarantine; (3) Recovery from accident; (4) Required court attendance; (5) Death in family; (6) Family educational trips; (7) Educational tours and trips.

The Board shall, upon written request of the parents/guardians, release from attendance a student participating in a religious instruction program acknowledged by the Board. Such instruction shall not require the child’s absence from school for more than thirty-six (36) hours per school year, and its organizers must inform the Board of the child’s attendance record. The Board shall not provide transportation to religious instruction. A penalty shall not be attached to an absence for religious instruction. The Board shall permit a student to be excused for participation in a project sponsored by a statewide or county wide 4-H, FFA, or combined 4-H and FFA group upon written request prior to the event. The Board will recognize other justifiable absences for part of the school day. These shall include medical or dental appointments, court appearances, family emergencies, college visitations, and urgent reasons. Students age 18 and over may write their own excuses, unless deemed otherwise by the principal.

Unexcused/Unlawful AbsencesAbsences will be considered unexcused/unlawful for the following occurrences: 1) Absence through parental neglect (including hunting and fishing), 2) Illegal employment, 3) Truancy, 4) Missing the school bus, 5) Working at home, 6) Baby sitting, 7) Personal reasons unless excused by the principal. A student receiving an unexcused /unlawful absence may make up missed work with a one-letter grade penalty, provided the work is made up within five (5) school days in order to receive any credit.

Unlawful Absences (for students under 17 years of age)First Unlawful Absence– Parent/Guardian receives a notice of unlawful absence from the school district.Second Unlawful Absence– Parent/Guardian receives a second notice of unlawful absence which explains legal penalties associated with violation of compulsory attendance requirements.Third Unlawful Absence– Certified letter is sent to Parent/Guardian notifying them the next unlawful absence will result in proceedings being initiated against parent and/or student with the local magistrate.

For students at least 17 years of age, appropriate disciplinary measures may be utilized in lieu of filing charges with the local magistrate on the fourth unexcused absence.

After ten (10) days of cumulative lawful absences verified by parental (not medical) notification, the superintendent or superintendent’s designee may require a physician’s (doctor’s) excuse for each subsequent absence. The physician’s excuse will be used to determine if the absence will be excused.

Students who miss ten (10) consecutive school days shall be dropped from the active member-ship roll unless evidence is provided to the school that there is a legal excuse.

Procedure for Reporting Students AbsentWhen a student is absent from school, parents are requested to call the high school office at (724) 932-3186 between 7:15 and 8:00 am. A telephone call is made to the home of all absentees unless a student has been reported absent that morning. Following an absence, a student must present a signed excuse to the high school secretary before 8:00 am. If a signed excuse is not turned in within five (5) schools days, the absence will be considered to be unexcused.

Educational Travel ProceduresStudents may be legally excused from school attendance to participate in educational tours or trips as provided through PA school regulations. Parents or guardians should complete the required forms prior to the proposed trip or tour. Forms are available from the school office and must be returned to the principal. The superintendent will approve or deny the request as per state law. The decision to approve or deny the request is based on the student’s grades and attendance record. 1. No trip will last longer than 10 school days. 2. No combination of educational trips will last longer than 10 school days. 3. No student may take more than three educational trips per school year. 4.
