MUSKEGO HIGH SCHOOL ATTENDANCE/ABSENCE POLICIES:

ATTENDANCE/ABSENCE POLICIES · All students are expected to attend school regularly and be on time for all their classes and study hall. Students must be enrolled in a class or school-sponsored activity during each period of the school day. Students may not leave school without permission of a building administrator, attendance, or health offices.

ABSENCE POLICY:  It is the responsibility of the student’s parent or guardian to report absences from school on a daily basis by calling 262-971-1790 before 9:00 AM.  Parents who choose to write notes should include the reason for the absence, dates, their signature, and a telephone number so the absence may be verified.  Failure to notify the school of a student’s absence within 24 hours shall be considered as truancy and handled accordingly.  Students shall be allowed one day for each consecutive day of absence to complete and submit pre-assigned work.  Students do not receive an extra day to complete work due to an approved field trip or pre-arranged absence.  It is the student’s responsibility to confirm arrangements with all teachers prior to a field trip or pre-arranged absence.  Excessive excused and/or unexcused absences are a concern and will involve the Student Services Department and Administration. A parent/guardian letter will be generated and sent home after 5 and 10 days of excused or unexcused absence.  Wisconsin State Statute 118.15 any person having under control a child who is between the ages of 6 and 18 years shall cause the child to attend school regularly during the full period and hours. A student is considered truant if he/she is absent without an acceptable excuse for all or part of one or more days during which school is held.  A student qualifies to be habitually truant when he/she is absent without an acceptable excuse all or part of five or more days in a school semester, Wisc. Stat. sec. 118.16 (1) (a) and (c).

TARDY TO SCHOOL: Students arriving late to school must report to the Attendance Office before reporting to an assigned class.  After one tardy to school, tardiness will result in progressive disciplinary actions including detentions, in-building and out-of-building suspensions.

TARDY TO CLASS:  A student will be considered tardy for class if he/she is not in the classroom when the final bell stops ringing.  First Offense – teacher records. Second Offense – teacher records and contacts parent/guardian. Third Offense – teacher assigns detention with student and either contacts parent/guardian or arranges a student-parent-teacher conference.  Fourth and Subsequent Offenses – teacher refers to appropriate administrator.

AUTOMATED ATTENDANCE CALLS -  There are two automated calls during the school day one at 9:15 a.m. and one at 2:15 p.m. The automated dialer will call the home number on file in Infinite Campus when the student is absence for one or more classes as unexcused. Please call the attendance office with the reason for absence or if the student was with another staff member to resolve attendance.
