What is ACAs attendance policy?
Consistent attendance is very important to academic progress. Personal days and vacations are not excused absences. If a child is picked up before 12:00 p.m., they will be counted as absent for the day. In case of absence, the parent must write a dated note to the teacher explaining the reason for the absence. This note must be sent the day a student returns to school. There are no excused absences except for student illness, death in the immediate family, or medical and dental appointments. Class work and assignments missed due to an excused absence or early check-out must be made up in a timely fashion. Family vacations and trips should be scheduled during school vacations since it is often difficult for a child to make up work missed during an absence. Should it be necessary for a student to miss school for personal reasons, please procure permission from the administration several days in advance. Any student with 21 un-excused absences over the course of the year will be required
