[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is a high school senior with a bad case of senioritis--she doesn't want to go to school much. Just trying to get her to June graduation. This morning she asked to go to school two hours late (I have a bad headache"). She said if she's two-hours late, it's marked as absent the whole day. True? 
Yes, I usually send her because she's faking illness, usually to get more sleep (the bus comes very early). But recently I forced her to go and she tested positive for COVID, so we went to pick her up and she was home for a few days. Just trying to make it to graduation. Please be kind--it's been a rough road for us.[/quote]

Attendance is based on class by class.  If you miss a certain amount of classes during the day, you are supposed to be prohibited from participating in extracurriculars for that day but it's not typically enforced.  Also, attendance doesn't matter.  There's no loss of credit for absences/tardies.  If she's just worried about passing, try to get a C third quarter then she's automatically passed for the semester.[/quote]
