Policies and Procedures

Attendance
Attendance is recorded and reported for each class. Repeated
absences may make promotion impossible.
Students returning to school after an absence are
expected to bring a note from their parent or guardian.
This note must be shown to all subject teachers whose classes
were missed, and should include the student’s name, student
number, dates and times when absent. The note should then
be turned into the office, once attached to the attendance slip.
This policy is in place to comply with Vancouver School Board
Regulations regarding attendance.
Students wishing an early dismissal from school must bring a
note signed by their parent/guardian. The student should show
the subject teacher the note and then report to the office to
sign out.
Students who take extended vacations do so without the
endorsement of the school. Teachers are not obligated to
provide homework during these absences. Exams or
assignments missed may count as zero.
Students going on field trips must have signed permission from
their parent/guardian. Teachers whose classes are being
missed should sign the form also.
Tardiness
Students must be in their classroom before the beginning of
each period or they will be marked “late”. Students who are
frequently late may be required to make up the time at the
teacher’s discretion.
