Attendance Office Announcement
Check Out Procedures
Once students have come to school they may not leave without a parent first checking them out through the attendance office. In order to ensure the safety of our students, a parent or authorized adult must come into the office to check the student out.
Students who leave school without checking out through the front office will be considered sluffing.
Students returning to school from an appointment or coming late must check in at the attendance office before going to class.
All Nebo junior high schools are closed campuses. Students may not leave the campus during the school day without being checked out by a parent or with the approval of a school administrator. Those students who need to leave regularly (such as going home for lunch) may obtain an ongoing pass from the school administrator.
To maximize student learning opportunities, students will not be called out of class before a parent is at the school to check them out.
Tardies
Students are expected to arrive on time, ready to participate and learn. A student who arrives at school after the 7:55am bell is considered tardy. A parent must directly contact the school to excuse a first-period tardy.
During the school day, students will be marked tardy if they are not in their classrooms at the time the bell rings. Students with more than 3 tardies in a class will be required to:
Serve lunch detention.
Forfeit the privilege of attending dances and celebrations.
Detention Detention will be served during lunch, under the supervision of an administrator or other staff member. Phones are not allowed during detention, and detention credit will not be granted if phones are visible or used. Students will be able to eat their lunch during detention time. Disruptive behavior or failure to follow directions will result in detention credit not being granted. Students who have truancies or more than 3 tardies in a class will not be allowed to participate in school dances or citizenship celebrations.
