Remediation Plan Policy A Remediation Plan is
utilized to assist students in improving
students academic performance. To be eligible
for this plan, students cannot have more than 9
days of unexcused absences per quarter (3 tardies
equals 1 absence) and overall number average
cannot be less than 60.
32
Attendance Policy

• All Percy L. Julian students are expected to
  attend school regularly. Each student is
  expected to maintain at least 80 attendance in
  order to participate in school activities, field
  trips, etc. This means that students should not
  miss more than 10 days of school per semester
  regardless of whether the absences are excused or
  unexcused. Students should be aware that a cut
  is considered to be an absence a cut class is
  any class where a student does not receive the
  teachers permission to be somewhere else even if
  this is in another class with another teacher.
  All students need passes.

33

• Also, per Board policy, students who miss more
  than 18 unexcused absences may be ineligible to
  earn credit for any class that they take. It is
  prudent that all students present notes to the
  attendance office upon returning.
