STUDENT ATTENDANCE
Attendance is important and should be a part of every student's plan and goals. Regular attendance will aid in the successful completion of the academic work. It is strongly urged that students select a schedule they can adhere to and
that absences are kept to a minimum. Excessive absences may cause a student to be dropped from a class. Students
are encouraged to call the office when they are unable to attend. The office phone for Zimmerman is (810) 760-7763
or Broome (810) 7601638.
Illness, family problems, transportation, work schedules and health problems are the most common reasons for absences. Appointments of any kind should be scheduled before and after school when possible. If you are employed,
please share a copy of your school schedule with your employer.
Our official policy states that after excessive absences (more than 25% of the class time), a student could be
dropped. However, often other arrangement can be made. Your teacher(s) may refer you to another class, a GED lab or
an agreed upon site when appropriate.
Concerns or special circumstances regarding your attendance should be directed to a student advisor.
