Attendance

The attendance policy of Northeastern Middle and High School states you must send a note to the school within TWO DAYS of the absence to have the absence excused.

The note must have the student's name, the date(s) of absence, reason for the absence, and the legal guardian's signature. Otherwise, it is unexcused.When a student accumulates absences for illness reasons which amount to either three (3) consecutive school days or 72-hours or more in any year, the principal may require the parent(s)/guardian(s) to provide a statement by a physician verifying the student’s absence. Failure to do so may result in the absence deemed as unexcused and any missed work may not be made up. Excessive absences may result in disciplinary action and may be turned over to
Juvenile Court.

If there is a medical condition that may require a child to miss more than the policy allows, then a doctor’s note must be on file in the school records indicating the medical condition. A student’s make-up work can be requested by a parent or guardian if a child is absent from school. The student will have the number of days absent plus one extra day before the assignments are considered late or missing.

You can easily report attendance by calling 937-328-6575 OR by sending an email to katrinaketner@nelsd.org.
