A T T E N D A N C E
UAAHC recognizes that regular school attendance
is a major component of academic success. UAAHC parents, teachers, and
administrators collaborate to ensure that unexcused absences, tardiness and
early departures from school are kept to a minimum. This is designed to:
- Encourage full attendance by all scholars.
- Maintain an adequate record-keeping system.
- Identify patterns and develop effective
intervention strategies to improve school attendance.
- Ensure that school officials and parents
know the daily whereabouts of every scholar.
- Verify that individual scholars are
complying with NYS/NYC Education Law relating to compulsory attendance.
- Determine UAAHC's average daily attendance
for NYS purposes.
Therefore, it is the policy of UAAHC that:
- A scholar may be denied course credit where
he has been absent more than twenty-five (25) times, for legal or illegal
reasons, from a full year course.
- A scholar may be denied course credit where
he has been absent more than twelve (12) times for legal or illegal reasons,
from a half-year course.
- A scholar may be denied course credit where
he has been absent six (6) times, for legal or illegal reasons, from a
quarter-year course.
- The only non-class attendance which will not
count as an absence are classes missed due to attendance at other schools
ordered and approved instruction or functions such as home instruction,
field trips, and sports and music programs.
- There shall be an appeals committee
consisting of teachers, one administrator, a nurse, and Mr. Foy, Principal
or Mr. Ptah, Program Director. Upon written request by a scholar or his
parent/guardian, within one week of receipt of written notification of loss
of credit, the appeals committee will review the case of scholars who have
lost credit due to application of this policy. The request for review should
include the reasons for the appeal.
