Attendance Policy
All day absences – Parents must call before 2:00 PM on the day of absence.
Arriving Late – Parents must call in the morning before the student arrives to put them on a late list. They must check into the Counseling Center if they are more than 10 minutes late in order to be excused. If they are less than 10 minutes late, they must go directly to class and resolve the tardy with the teacher.
Street passes – Parents must call in the morning and a street pass will be ready for the student to pick up in the Counseling Center. Street passes are not delivered to class. Please specify if the student will be returning to school.
No all-day absences will be retroactively excused after 3 days during the current term.
Written notes from parents are not accepted at Skyline!
Students must have a street pass to leave campus during the day. Leaving campus without a street pass will result in an "A," or unexcused absence.
