[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Can Sherwood High School really failed a student who does very on test has over 4.0 GPA, but has 20  tardy to 1st period this semester?  AP Lit student who like very senior goes to school late, but they want to fail her.. Want DR note for absences because they don't think she "sick."

No. That was old regulation.

The revised grading and reporting regulation removed all connection between attendance and grades. Students are allowed to make up missed work regardless of the reason for the absence.[/quote]

[b]That link doesn’t mention loss of credit for absences. [/b]I believe that policy hasn’t changed? After 3 absences you receive a letter and after 5 credit can be removed.

If this is out of date please share.[/quote]
Exactly. This is the MCPS policy that had loss of credit due to tardiness or absences in it. It was revised in fall 2023 to remove that consequence. Grades will not be linked to attendance anymore. Schools were supposed to roll out training to their staff on this in January in preparation for the spring semester. The Blair school policy is out of date.

So, back to OP. No, your kid can’t be failed due to tardiness or unexcused absences.[/quote]
