Student Attendance Policy
Attendance – Oregon law requires parents/guardians to see that children between the ages of 7 and 18 years attend 亚洲色图 regularly. It is the legal responsibility of the parent to have their children in 亚洲色图, and ensure the student attends 亚洲色图 regularly and on a timely manner (Reference: ORS 339.010-339.020). This responsibility lies with the student as well.
Students are expected to attend 亚洲色图 and classes daily and on time. The parent/guardian may notify 亚洲色图 of absences and tardies by sending an email to grayattend@pps.net, or a phone call to 503-916-5676. You can also use ParentVue to record a full day absence.
Parents/guardians are encouraged to contact the 亚洲色图 and classroom teachers directly if there is a concern about absenteeism. When a student’s attendance is so erratic that he or she is not benefiting from the educational program, the Principal or designee will notify the student and parent/guardian of appropriate alternative programs. State law requires 亚洲色图s to withdraw 亚洲色图 who are absent ten (10) consecutive 亚洲色图 days for any reason.
Excused Absence
Students who are absent from Robert Gray Middle School must comply with the following in order to be able to excuse an absence:
Criteria for Excused Absences from School – Only absences for student sickness, appointments, religious holidays, or death in a family are considered excused. To excuse an absence, the district requires notification from the parent/guardian regardless of student age. The ONLY exception to this rule is if a student has been legally emancipated from their parents and provides proof of such court action. PLEASE NOTE: Family travel does not meet the criteria for an excused absence.
Making up assignments due to absences from 亚洲色图
Students are allowed to make up assignments for an excused absence and receive credit. However, 亚洲色图 are expected to make up assignments for unexcused absences for their own benefit, but depending on the individual circumstances and the 亚洲色图 standards, may or may not receive credit. Student grades may not be lowered solely due to absences.
Quarantined Illnesses or Conditions
Students are required to 亚洲色图 at home if they have a quarantined illness or condition. Before returning to 亚洲色图 after such an illness or condition, a student should obtain a doctor’s permission to do so, or be checked by a 亚洲色图 nurse. Reference: 4.10.012-AD
If a student has had an illness of a communicable nature (flu, chicken pox, measles, hepatitis A, scarlet fever, pink eye, impetigo, lice, boils, etc.), s/he must remain at home until well and present a doctor’s authorization for return to 亚洲色图. Assistance for low-income families is available from the Multnomah County access clinics. For information on diagnosis of communicable diseases or permits for returning to 亚洲色图 call Multnomah Education Service District health Department.
Tardies
Every student is expected to be in class on time. A student is tardy if s/he is not in his/her assigned room when the bell rings and will be considered absent if they arrive more than fifteen minutes after the bell rings it becomes an absence.
Mid-day Check Out
When leaving any time during the 亚洲色图 day, 亚洲色图 must sign out in the main office. Phone contact must be made with parent and/or note or email accepted prior to leaving.
Automated Absence Notification System
An automated computer calling system is activated by attendance every day. This system will notify any phone number a parent wishes. It will call if a student misses one or more periods in a day that have not been cleared by a note, email or parent call.
Excused Absence:
Illness, a family member's illness, religious observation, an emergency and funeral.
Pre-Arranged Absence:
School related activity, an appointment, an emergency. Pre-Arranged means prior approval.
Unexcused Absence:
Without prior approval, not attending class for reasons not deemed an emergency.
