Attendance Policy

Students are expected to be punctual for all classes, devotions, prayer meetings, and practices, including music/voice lessons and choir practices.

Tardiness and Absences

  • Late arrival: If a class has started when the student enters, they are considered late.
  • Three “lates” equal one absence.
  • Three absences result in a change of status from “credit” to “audit” in that class. The student must still attend the class and complete all work and tests.
  • Planned absences must be pre-approved by house parens and inform the teacher.
  • Unapproved absences automatically change the student’s status from “credit” to “audit,” with the same requirement to complete coursework and tests.
