PBHS Attendance Policy
Students are required to complete a form with a parent/guardian’s
signature to excuse an absence, tardy, or early release from school within
two days of the student’s return to school, not counting the day the
student returns. Phone calls will not be accepted. If an absence form is
NOT completed on time, the absence will remain unexcused. Tardies and early
releases will also be considered unexcused without proper documentation.
A student who exceeds the allotted time (440 minutes per class/1760 minutes
per nine weeks) may receive an F in the class. These accrued minutes are
a combination of absences, tardies, and early releases.
Exceeding the allowable minutes requires the completion of the appeals process.
The student and parent/guardian must complete the appeal form along with
appropriate documentation and submit to the guidance office. The attendance
appeals committee will review this form. The committee determines if the
absence, tardy, or early release will be excused or will remain unexcused.
The student/parent/guardian will be informed of the decision. Forms may be
submitted from 6:30 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., during both lunches and from 3:05
pm to 3:45 pm.
