Ninth Grade Academy 24-Hour Attendance Line: 260-431-2305
Phone calls to the 24-Hour Attendance line are required if your student is going to be arriving late, leaving early, or out for the day.
- All Ninth Grade students arriving at 7:45 AM or later and leaving prior to 2:35 PM will need to use the Ninth Grade Academy Entrance (Door #26).
- Students should be in class prior to and after appointments, unless the Dr. states he/she is excusing the full day. For example, if the appointment is at 9:00 AM, the student is expected to attend school for Period 1.
- Remember to obtain a Dr. Note (that includes appointment and departure times) in order for the absence to be considered Dr. Excused and not Parent Excused.
- Students are allowed 10 Parent Excused absences for the entire school year. If a student misses even a portion of a day, he/she will burn up one of the allotted 10 Parent Excused absences.
- A 7:45-7:50 arrival will be considered a Tardy; A 7:51-8:00 arrival will be considered a Late Arrival; An arrival after 8:00 will use one of the allotted Parent Excused absences.
- Students are expected to pick up early dismissal passes from the Ninth Grade Academy Attendance Office any time after Period 1.
- Homework assignments can be found on the teachers' Canvas Pages. We ask all absent students to stay current with class activity as they are able.
