Attendance is essential for student success. Any attendance issues will be addressed following the school
attendance policy (see student handbook).
If tardiness/absenteeism becomes an issue, parent contact will be attempted and a referral sent to the Student
Center.
If a student is absent, it is the students responsibility to make-up missed material. Each student is responsible
for all course content whether the student was present for class or not.
It is a great benefit for students to be able to look back at previous work. Thus, materials will be referenced
throughout the course and students are expected to keep all course materials neat and organized.

Oregon University System:
The Oregon University System (OUS) has recently notified all high schools that only courses in which a student has received a Cor higher will count toward the college prep credit requirement. This requirement begins with the graduating class of 2005. It is
highly recommended that a student with a D grade in a required college entrance course meet with a counselor to discuss if the
course will have to be re-taken.
