Regular attendance and punctuality are essential components for academic success. Students are responsible for work covered during any absence, and can expect to be evaluated on all work in the course.
Absence Procedures:
An email to denison.ss@yrdsb.ca, a phone call (905-836-0021, ext. 181) or a note from a parent / guardian is required when a student is absent from school. Please include the following information when contacting the school:
· student’s name
· date(s) and reason for absence
· parent or guardian signature on notes
· students 18 years of age** and older may sign their own note - however, signing in and out privileges and note authorization may be withdrawn at the discretion of a school administrator.
Truancy
A student who is absent from class without authorization will be considered truant until proper authorization is obtained. The school will notify parents of any truancy unless the student is 18 years or older and has requested no parental contact in writing.
