Attendance

 

At SOAR High School, student success begins with being present and on time.  Daily attendance is essential to fully engage in learning, contribute to a collaborative classroom environment, and develop strong habits that lead to academic and personal success.

Students are expected to attend all scheduled classes on time each day.  Being late or absent not only affects individual progress, but also disrupts the learning experience for others.  Consistent attendance allows students to participate in discussions, access support, and take full advantage of the early college opportunities offered at SOAR.

We understand that emergencies and unforeseen circumstances can arise.  In these cases, communication with the school is vital.  Parents and guardians must notify the school of absences, and students are responsible for making up missed work in a timely manner.

By committing to regular attendance and punctuality, students demonstrate respect for their education, their peers, and themselves.

 

ATTENDANCE POLICY

In order to maintain enrolment and remain in good standing at SOAR High School, students are required to be present for a minimum of 85% of each academic semester.  Regular attendance is critical to academic achievement, participation in the early college program, and long-term success.

Students who are absent from the learning environment for 15% or more of the semester--regardless of whether absences are excused or unexcused--maybe subject to administrative review.  This include absences from in-person instruction, college classes, and required school-related activities.
