Counselors

​If you have not made an appointment yet, but need to change classes, the window is going to be from Monday, 8/6 to Friday, 8/10.  Here is a link to a form to make an appointment.
Please note that we only have 9th graders on campus on Monday, but if you have an appointment, you may come in.
​
  1. You must have an appointment to come see the counselors.  NO crowding the office and waiting. 
  2. You can make appointments in the library or on a computer borrowed from a teacher or on your phone.
  3. If you need help making an appointment, please see Mr. Manthei in the library.

If you need to make class changes after 8/10, only your administrators can authorize them, so make an effort to get in and see your counselor as soon as possible.  If we can't fit everyone in during the first week, we will open up a few more days early next week.  If we do, you'll get an email saying the form is open again.

Attendance | Tardy Policies

NEW POLICY:
In order for students to attend or participate in extracurricular activities (athletic games, prom, banquet, etc) they are expected to have fewer than 12% combined unexcused absences and tardies.  Students are responsible to keep track of their own attendance on Infinite Campus. Students with fewer than four periods will have smaller targets to reach.
See the Registrar or a VP for a personalized printout.
ATTENDANCE POLICY

​The school considers more than 4 days (16 periods of 4 periods a day) of absence per term (8 absences per semester) to be excessive.  Excessive absences interfere with learning and jeopardize graduation.
Absences may be waived if documentation is provided in the following situations:
  • NOTES must be presented within 3 school days of returning to school
  • Official note from doctor/dentist/or other medical office.
  • Official note from court, parole officer, etc.
  • Notes from parents may be accepted at the discretion of the administrator.
  • School approved activities (Field Trips, sports, extra-curricular activities, etc.)  either on-campus or off-campus with verification from the supervisor of the activity will be excused by the Academy clerks.
Attendance Waiver Forms are available in all offices and must be returned to the student’s academy office clerk.

The school DOES NOT consider the following to be valid reasons for an absence:
  • Baby-sitting or taking care of a family member.
  • Entertaining out-of-town guests, family reunions, seeing friends/relatives off at the airport, etc..
  • Employment (other than permanent early release).
  • Shopping for Events/ Personal Grooming Appointments - Hair, Nails.
  • Oversleeping.
  • Auto breakdown or transportation problems, missing the bus, etc.
  • Personal reasons - Being pulled out of school for personal reasons may not be excused.
  • Family trips, extended vacations (camping), any sporting tournaments not affiliated with the DOE.
  • Unauthorized Personal College Visits.
​
Extended Absences
For extended absences of 3 or more days in the following situations, a waiver must be submitted as soon as possible and arrangements must be made to pick up student work:

  • Illness or injury.
  • Death or emergency in the family.
Attendance is finalized at the end of each quarter and cannot be changed without an administrative decision.
For absences 10 days or longer, the student may be required to withdraw and re-enroll upon returning to school.
TARDY POLICY

In order to enter class, students who are late must get a tardy ticket from their academy office  or from security located around campus.

If the student is late because of the school bus, the student will report to the front office to receive an excused pass.
