[quote=Anonymous]To clarify some previous posts in this thread regarding the grading and attendance policy: If a student only missed one period during the day, they are considered absent for the day only for "in seat attendance". This stat is used to evaluate schools and administrators, but it does not affect students' grades in their other classes. I'm a dcps hs teacher, and we have been instructed to calculate the number of unexcused absences the student has in our class period only. 5 unexcused absences in one advisory (quarter) = a reduction in the final grade for that specific class.(B would become B-, etc.) 10 unexcused absences in an advisory = grade if FA ( failure due to absences) for the term, and no option to do credit or unit recovery. I believe that students have the right to appeal the grade if there are extenuating circumstances. [/quote]
