Absences
EXPECTATIONS
It is expected that students will attend school every day.
RULES
Students are allowed to be absent for the following only:
1) Illness (temperature, diarrhea, or vomiting).
2) Doctor appointment (verified)
3) Dental appointment (verified)
4) Court mandated appearance. (verified)
5) Bereavement (verified)
In all cases, parents need to call the Attendance Office to report the absence. Students need to bring a note and go to the Attendance Office upon their return.

• Absences are noted in the student’s record.

Tardies:

Jordan takes student tardies very seriously. Students who come to class late not only deprive themselves of important curriculum and information, but they also distract peers who are trying to focus/learn and the teacher who is trying to teach.
Students should arrive in class promptly. Students entering the room after the teacher has started class are late/tardy.
Tardies 1-10:
• Teacher responsibility
10 and above Tardies = Administrative Saturday Schools (see Expectations #11 and #12 in “Conduct and Discipline”)
