Beauregard High School Attendance Policies

Beauregard High School

Attendance Policy

The documentation below outlines the attendance policies as mandated by the Lee County Board of Education. Please become familiar with them.

• Absences are coded as either excused or unexcused.
• A written excuse must be presented for any absence to be coded excused. Per Lee County Board of Education policy, parents have three (3) days from the day of their child’s return to school to submit a written or online excuse to the appropriate school office. Failure to submit a note within three (3) days will automatically result in the absence being coded unexcused. 

                   9th Grade—The FX Office

                   10th-11th Grades—The Blue/Gold Office

• Written excuses must be submitted for any check-outs or check-ins.
• Per Lee County Board of Education Policy, a parent may present notes for up to five (5) absences per semester. Following the note for the fifth (5th) absence, excuses presented by a parent/guardian will no longer be accepted to excuse an absence. At this point, written documentation must be presented from a medical professional, court official, military recruiter, etc. in order to be coded as an excused absence (Refer to the Student Handbook for more detailed information.).
• Per Lee County Board of Education policy, when an absence is coded as unexcused, the student will not be allowed to make-up any work or assignments for a given class period/block. Realize that the inability to makeup an assignment will result in a grade of zero (0) for any assignment(s) that occurred during any class period/block when the unexcused absence was recorded.
• Student attendance is recorded each class period/block. Students must attend half of a class period/block to be counted present. (Note: With regard to semester exam exemptions, attendance consideration is by class block rather than daily attendance.)
• In order to be counted present for the school day with regard to ALSDE recognized daily attendance, the student must be present for at least half of the school day. (7:30 a.m.-11:20 a.m. and 11:20 a.m.-3:00 p.m.)
• Refer to the Student Handbook for detailed descriptions of excused and unexcused absences. For an absence to be coded excused, it must meet the criteria of an excused absence.
• In order to participate in any after school activity, a student must be present for at least half of the school day.
