Attendance & Tardies:
Plato Academy believes that regular school attendance relates directly to success in academic work, benefits students socially, provides opportunities for important communications between teachers and students, and establishes regular habits of dependability important to the future of the student. The purpose of this policy is to encourage regular school attendance. It is intended to be positive and not punitive. This policy also recognizes that class attendance is a joint responsibility to be shared by the student, parent or guardian, teacher and administrators. This policy will assist students in attending class.
School Attendance / Tardy Policy:
1. Students who have been absent five days or more in a grading period may be required to bring a certificate of illness from a licensed doctor to the school.
2. Every three "tardies" or early pick-up will result in the student receiving one unexcused absence.
*If you arrive late, your child will be missing fundamental concepts in reading or math.
3. Within 48 hours of a student’s absence the parent will send a note or call the school explaining the absence. If that contact does not occur, the absence will be recorded as unexcused.
4. Excessive absences may lead to a referral and/or parent/teacher/administrator conference.
