The student shall have no unexcused absences and have no more than three (3) excused absences in each class during the second semester (per class).
The student shall have no more than 5 tardies in each class.
No major infractions. Major infractions typically result in In School Suspension, Saturday School, Out of School Suspension, Friday Night School, or placement at the Special Programs Center. The building principal will determine whether an offense will be classified as “major”.
The student must have no outstanding fines, fees, or debts for school property or services (summer school, night school, etc.)
The student must report to class for attendance accounting and check out requirements at the start of the first period each exam day to be exempt from taking any exam.
