Attendance Policy

Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others (Romans 12:4-5).

By enrolling your children, you are committing to the entire school year, so we ask you to prayerfully consider your decision before joining. Your attendance and punctuality are crucial because we depend on one another for a successful year. When even one parent is late or absent or quits, it puts a heavier burden on the rest of us, and consequently, the children suffer.

Please schedule appointments and vacations accordingly and find substitutes when you are absent for any reason. If you have three or more unexcused absences, you’re jeopardizing your family’s spot in the co-op. Unexcused absences are things like vacation and non-emergency appointments. These do not include sickness or family emergencies.

When you are absent, it is your job to find a substitute. Please see the Substitute Policy page for more information.

When a student is absent, it is the responsibility of students grades 7-12 or their parents to find out what was covered and what assignments are due the next week. If you know your children will be absent, be courteous and notify their teachers in advance when possible.
