| Attendance Expectations | Tardy Policy | Elopement Policy |
| Our attendance expectation for all Hill students is to maintain an overall attendancepercentage of 92% or higher. – This means a student can only miss 14 days total throughout the school year. – All tardies count against this percentage as well. – Excused absences still count against a student’s overall attendance percentage | Being in class on time to each class is important for a strong start and leads to maximized learning. In order to support being on time: – We have added bells for each transition, there is a 1 minute warning to help – After 3 tardies, students engage in a Lunch Reflection to discuss skills needed to be on time to class each day – If students continue to struggle with getting to class, (after 2 Lunch Reflections), family partnerships will be leveraged to formulate a plan for student success. | Students are expected to be in assigned classes at all time to prioritize safety and learning. Elopement – being out of class for more than 10 minutes without permission will lead to the following interventions: – 1st Time: Automatic Lunch Reflection, Parent Contact – 2nd Time: Automatic Lunch Reflection, Parent Contact, Put a Plan in Place – 3rd Time: Student stays home until a parent conference occurs. More intensive intervention plan put into place. |
