NGHS ATTENDANCE PROCEDURE

Check In/Tardy Procedure:

If you check in late, you must have a note from your parent or doctor with the reason listed.  Excused reasons are illness, illness of family member, death in the family, observed religious holiday, and court. 

If you go to a doctor, PLEASE bring a doctor note back.

Check Out Procedure:

If you are checking a student out for an appointment:

1. Send a note in with the student stating when and for what purpose they need to leave.  Notes must include Student full name, number, and parent signature and phone number.  They will drop it in the basket at the front desk.
2. We will send your student a pass to leave at the designated time.
3. Please come in a show ID at the front desk.  We will get your student at that time.  This may take up to 10 minutes.
4. All check outs are unexcused unless released from the clinic.

Students must always key in their number at the front desk when checking out and checking in.

Students must bring a note from the doctor/dentist, etc., in order for the absence to be excused.
If you do not send in a note and plan to pick up your student:

Unexcused Absences: If a note is not submitted within 10 days of the absence, the absence will be regarded as unexcused.  Parents will receive a letter from the county when a student has reached 5, 7, and 10 unexcused absences.
