Attendance

Absences and tardies, no matter the reason (sick, appointments, late bus or ride), will impact your opportunity to earn credits. If you have anything on your attendance record other than a "P" (for present), it will count towards a loss of credit. There are 6 grading periods in a school year. The following chart is an example of how absences can affect credits earned.

Number of Absences	Student is enrolled in 6 classes (2.3 credits x 6= 13.8)
Perfect attendance in all classes	13.8 total credits
No credit 2 days	12.9 total credits
No credit 4 days	11.9 total credits
No credit 6 days	10.9 total credits
No credit 8 days	9.9 total credits
No credit 10 days	8.9 total credits
