If a student is going to be absent or tardy for any reason, we ask the parents to call the Student Life office (615-822-2375 ex. 6037) by 8:00 a.m. Upon return to school, the student must bring a signed note from his or her parent to the Student Life office. If the absence or tardy is due to a doctor’s appointment, we require that students bring notes from the doctor to avoid some of the grade penalties involved with excessive absences outlined above.

Students arriving to school anytime after 7:55 a.m. are required to check in at the main office. They must have a note from the office before going to class. Students who are not in their assigned location by 7:55 a.m. will be marked tardy unexcused and will be assigned a detention, unless they present a parent or medical note to the Student Life office the following day. Students will receive a detention for each unexcused tardy.

Students are permitted five (5) excused tardies with a parent note, unless a doctor’s note is provided. After ten (10) tardies, students will be assigned detentions for each tardy.

Athletic Participation: Students must be in class no later than 10:00 a.m. in order to participate in an athletic practice or game. The only exception to this rule is if the student brings in an official medical note from his or her physician, dentist, or medical provider. Students arriving from a medical appointment must be in school before 12:00 p.m. to be eligible to participate in a game or practice.

More information about the attendance policy can be found in the Parent/Student Handbook.

*If a parent is picking up a student for early dismissal, he/she must come into the office and sign the student out. Student drivers may sign themselves out with prior parent permission. No student will be permitted to leave school without parental permission. Except for an emergency, a 24-hour notice of an early dismissal is requested.

Early Dismissals
Any student who needs to leave school during the academic day for an appointment must submit a note to the Student Life office from the parent/guardian, explaining the reason for Early Dismissal by 7:55 a.m. that day. At the appointed dismissal time, students should report to the main (front) office and sign out. If the student is leaving for a medical or dental appointment, he or she should bring a note from the provider the next day. Non-essential early dismissals are strongly discouraged.

If a student faces an illness during the school day, he or she must first see the nurse in order to leave school during the school day. Balancing the health needs of students with prioritizing that the student attend classes, the school nurse must sign off on a student leaving school during the school day. If the issue relates to mental health (e.g. anxiety attacks, depression, self-harm, etc.), the student should see a counselor before being signed out to leave during the school day.

If the student is leaving for a doctor’s appointment, physical therapy, emotional therapy, etc., he or she should bring a note from the relevant health professional to account for the absence.

If a student will miss school time due to familial obligations (e.g. a sibling’s graduation, a family trip, etc.), he or she must seek prior approval for the absence/early dismissal at least 24 hours prior to the dismissal.

Failure to present proper documentation or gaining prior approval for absences may result in Student Life consequences ranging from detentions, Saturday school, or being placed on the Academic Probation list depending on the frequency and severity of the situation.
