MVRHS ABSENCE POLICY

 The full policy may be found in the Student Handbook. Portions of the policy follow:

A student who has four (4) or more unexcused absences for the same classes in a quarter may not receive a passing grade for that reporting period and will receive a grade of 59 for each affected class .           

Students are required to obtain homework, in advance, directly from their individual teachers for non-medical absence, i.e. field trips, college visits, pre-approved learning programs.

Students are advised to confer with teachers in regard to making up any work that is missed through absenteeism. Work missed because of absence due to extra-curricular activities, illness, suspension, etc., is required to be made up no later than five school days at the teacher’s discretion. Failure to do so not only en­courages a failing grade, it also jeopardizes the student's right to participate in interscholastic athletics. In all courses, semester or annual, a student has only one week after the course terminates to make-up all work. If not made up "zero" will be recorded for all work missed and averaged in with other marks for the subject.

 All assignments, i.e. reports, homework, tests, quizzes, class work - must be made up within 5 school days after a legal absence. Arrangements are to be made with individual teachers who will determine which day within the 5 days work should be completed.
