This is the only number you should be calling for attendance.
Regular attendance to class is one of the most important aspects of a student’s educational program. This ensures the effectiveness of the learning process and provides for an environment which is conducive to group and individual learning.
Determination of Excused and Unexcused Absences, Tardiness and Early Departures
Based upon the Spencerport Central School’s education and community needs, values and priorities, the School District has determined that absences, tardiness and early departures will be considered excused or unexcused according to the following standards:
a) Excused Absence: An excused absence is an absence, tardiness or early departure due to personal illness, illness or death in the family, religious observance, quarantine, required court appearances, attendance at health clinics, medical or dental appointments or other such reasons as may be approved by the Board of Education.
b) Unexcused Absence: An unexcused absence is an absence, tardiness or early departure which does not fall into the above categories (e.g., family vacation, babysitting, haircut, obtaining learner's permit, road test, oversleeping) or any absence for which a reason is not provided.
