Excuses should be submitted to the attendance monitors in the cafeteria, the main office, or faxed to 610-966-9649.\u00a0 Failure to submit an excuse within the required time will result in the absence being classified as <strong>unexcused and\/or illegal<\/strong>. Illegal\/unlawful absences may result in fines from the magistrate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Legal (excused) Absence: <\/strong>Legal absences include, but are not limited to, illness of student, quarantine, physical or mental incapacity, doctors\u2019 appointments, death in the family, court summons, violent weather, observances of a religious holiday by bona fide religious groups, religious instruction, school-related field trips or educational activities pre-approved by building administration or State emergency.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Illegal (unexcused) Absence<\/strong>: Absences not meeting the legal\/excused absence criteria. Accumulation of more than three unexcused\/illegal absences in one school year results in legal action against parents and\/or students.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Excessive Absence: <\/strong>Accumulation of absences beyond ten days results in parent contact by letter. Parents of students absent 20 days are required to attend a conference to discuss the problem. If the student&#8217;s absences total 30 or more days, the situation is referred to the superintendent&#8217;s office for further action.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Absence and Student Activities: <\/strong>Students absent or suspended from school are not permitted to attend or to participate in after school extra-curricular activities or events, nor are they permitted to attend dances or participate in other school-sponsored social activities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Doctor Excuses<\/strong>: Students who are absent as a result of doctor appointments should request a note from the doctor. The note should indicate the date of the appointment and a recommendation from the doctor as to when the student may return to school.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Extended Absence: <\/strong>Students who will be absent from school for more than three school days should have their parents contact the guidance office secretary at 610-965-1600, who will arrange for assignments and books to be sent home. Such a request for assignments and books should be made by 10 a.m.<\/p>\n<h3>Lateness to School<\/h3>\n<p>Students who are late to school must submit from the parent a note explaining the reason for lateness. All late students need to report to the office to sign in and to receive a late pass.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Excused Lateness<\/strong>: Lateness due to illness, family emergency, medical tests and\/or treatment, court summons, and\/or police\/legal business. Lateness due to doctor appointments should be verified by a note from the doctor&#8217;s office. The note must state the date and time of the appointment<\/p>\n<p><strong>Unexcused Lateness<\/strong>: Lateness not meeting above criteria. Accumulation of more than four unexcused latenesses results in assigned detention. Chronic lateness results in the student being assigned to in-school suspension and possible out-of-school suspension.<\/p>\n<h3>Permission to Leave School Early<\/h3>\n<p>In no case is a student to leave school during the day without permission from the office. If such permission is necessary, the student must bring to the cafeteria before homeroom, or the office before 8 a.m., a written request from home stating the exact time at which he\/she is to be dismissed and explaining the reason for the early dismissal.<\/p>\n<p>The student must report to the main office with the pass and sign out before departure.
