Please remember that unresolved tardies, truancies, and unexcused absences will result in loss of credit at the end of the semester.

ATTENDANCE REPORTING
*  Parents are required to call the school’s ATTENDANCE OFFICE, 208-854-4274 or send an
    email to: [email protected], on the day a student will be absent from class and repeat
    this call EACH DAY the student will not be in attendance.
*  Please leave a voicemail if you are not able to talk to someone directly.
*  HAND WRITTEN NOTES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED

ABSENCES
*  Students who are 20 or more minutes late to class are considered absent for that class.
*  All absences, for partial/full day need to be excused by a phone call or email from a parent/guardian  
    within 48 hours of the absence.
*  Even though an absence is “excused,” it will still count against the student’s attendance unless one of
    the following occurs:
          1)  Medical documentation is provided by a health care provider. You may fax medical excuses
                to 208-854-4271.
          2)  Legal documentation is provided proving required attendance for court appointment.
          3)  A student is placed to in house detention.
          4)  A student is participating in a school sponsored activity (ex: class field trips, performances, class
               competitions, sporting events sanctioned by the district.)
*  In the event that a student will be gone for 3 or more days, for any reason, a “Pre-Arranged
    Extended Absence” form is available for convenience of gathering homework. This is obtained by the
    student prior to the absence (found on the wall in the Attendance Office,) and is signed by the
    parent/guardian verifying the dates for which student(s) should be excused. A copy is then submitted
    to the Attendance Office upon completion.
