ATTENDANCE

Attending class is the single most important factor in a student's academic success. Please make every effort to help your student arrive to school on time and attend all their classes.

 

When a student is absent the entire day:

• Call the Attendance Hotline at 503-­‐356-­‐3671.
• Have the following information to report:
  • Student's first and last name
  • Student's ID number
  • Your name (and relationship to student)
  • Daytime phone number
  • Reason for the absence
• An absence must be reported within 48 hours in order for it to be excused.
• If a student will be absent for more than 2 days, you may request homework by sending an email to the teachers or calling the attendance line. Teachers are given at least 24 hours to prepare homework.

 

When a student arrives late to school:

• Have the student check in at the attendance desk in the MAIN OFFICE.
• Call the Attendance Hotline at 503-­‐356-­‐3671 or
• Send a note with the student (from a parent or guardian) or
• A parent may accompany the student to check in.
• A student arriving more than 20 minutes after the start of class is considered absent.

 

When a student is leaving school early:

• Call the Main Office at 503-356-3670 or email ACMA-Communications@beaverton.k12.or.us or
• or Send a note with the student to bring to the attendance desk  that morning.
• Parents should meet their student at the attendance desk to sign them out.  

 

When a student is returning from an appointment:

• Students should check back in at the attendance desk before going to class. It is not necessary for a parent to sign their student back in.

 

When a student feels too sick for class:

• Students who become ill during the day should report to the Health Room in the MAIN OFFICE.  If they do not feel well enough to return to class within 10-­‐15 minutes, we will call an authorized adult to pick them up.
