Attendance - Sports and Activities
Having great attendance is a must for athletes and activities participants. Not only does being in class regularly help with your grades, but it is required to be able to participate on a day when your sport or activity has a contest or game!
Our North Point parents have been great so far about keeping my office up to date, thank you for your efforts! Here are a few quick reminders:
- If your student will miss all or a portion of a school day that falls on the same date as a game/contest, this absence will need to be pre-approved by Dr. Adams.
- Parents should email Dr. Adams at least 24 hours in advance of the absence on a contest day, including partial absences for doctors appointments. He will respond back approving or denying the ability to play/participate.
- Students should bring a doctor's note back with them to give to the attendance office upon their return.
- Remember, any absence that isn't pre-approved (including leaving school for lunch or for forgotten items at home) on the day of a contest will make the student ineligible to compete that day.
- Be careful with Fridays or days prior to breaks, if the contest is on a Saturday and the absence occurs on a Friday, a student will not be eligible to compete on Saturday.
- All absences should be called in or emailed to the attendance office, and absences from a practice should be communicated directly with coaches and sponsors.
Thank you for your continued help!
