Attendance Policies
If a student will be absent or late, a parent/guardian must report the absence in Safe Arrivals.
Ministry of Education regulations state that "all students shall attend classes regularly and punctually”. Class participation forms an integral part of all courses.
In order for students to be successful and realize their academic potential, regular attendance and punctuality are not only expected but required by statute. Responsibility for attendance and punctuality rests with the students and their parents.
