If students are absent in excess of a specified number of times during a semester, they may lose credit for a course they are taking. Please review the link below for opportunities to make up time for excessive absences.
Information you need to know:
MUSTANGS WE WANT YOU HERE! (WWYH)
By State Law, students are supposed to be in class 90% of the time.
How do you prevent losing credit due to attendance?
1. WWYH Come to school ( this is the best way!)
2. If you KNOW you've been absent more than 9 times in any of your class periods, you must come to seat time to make up the time you have missed.
For Attendance For Credit (90% - seat-time)
- For Attendance For Credit, semester 1 (SM1) at 4 absences the letter will generate a warning and then at 9 absences the letter will generate stating loss of credit.
- Seat-time should be offered at the 4 absences or first letter.
