Where, in the principal’s judgment, a student’ s frequent absences from courses are jeopardizing his or her successful completion of a course, school staff will arrange to contact the student and parents to explain the potential consequences of the absences, including failure to gain credits, and discuss steps that could be taken to improve attendance.
Students are expected to login 3 times each week, not including scheduled holidays, for the entire duration of their course. If a student fails to login to their course three times in a single week then an absence will be recorded on their report card.
