Regular school attendance is necessary to a student’s progress in school. Because each class period contributes significantly to the curriculum objectives of Geneva, and because the instructional program is progressive and sequential, student attendance in all prescribed classes is critical. Students on class field trips are considered present even though not physically on campus.
If a student reaches six absences (planned or unplanned) in a quarter, a parent conference is scheduled with the headmaster and teachers to determine the student’s ability to complete the work necessary to pass the quarter.
A parent must come to the main office to sign out a student before taking the student off campus prior to 3:15pm. Leaving early (before 3:15pm) is highly discouraged. A student leaving early may miss Wise Time, specials or important academic instruction. Repeated, early dismissals of students are disruptive to the entire class. Please schedule extracurricular lessons and appointments for a time that does not require repeated, early dismissals.
A students who misses an excessive number of classes may not be available to advance.
