SCHOOL ATTENDANCE<\/strong><\/p>\nState Statute 118.15 requires that school attendance is mandatory for a child who is between the ages of 6 and 18.\u00a0 Regular attendance is an important component for success and is the responsibility of the parents\/guardians and the students. Students and parents can be fined and referred to juvenile authorities for non-compliance with attendance laws. Adult students (18 years of age and older must follow the same attendance rules as other students and may sign their own notes ONLY after a parental note is received in the office releasing the parent\/guardian from his\/her responsibility).<\/p>\n
EXCUSED ABSENCE<\/strong><\/p>\nStudents may be excused from school for illness, health appointments, or family emergencies, provided the parent\/guardian calls the attendance office at (608)789-3207 before 9 A.M. the day of the absence. Students must check out at the attendance office if they leave the building and check in when they return to school.<\/p>\n
EXCUSED ABSENCE-ILLNESS<\/strong><\/p>\nIf a student misses three or more consecutive days, and\/or accumulates 10 days of absence per year, a doctor\u2019s note will be required for each absence due to illness thereafter, to be excused.\u00a0 If the absences are due to a chronic medical condition, special religious holidays, or other extenuating circumstances, please contact an associate principal or principal.<\/p>\n
EXCUSED ABSENCE-PARENTAL DAYS IN ADVANCE<\/strong><\/p>\nStudents are allowed 10 (part or all) parental absence days per year.\u00a0 When the absence is planned, the student must make the request in writing, in advance with a pre-approved absence form available in the main or attendance offices.\u00a0 A parent cannot excuse a child because the child decides s\/he does not want to be in school.<\/p>\n
EXCUSED ABSENCE-SCHOOL RELATED SPORTS\/ACTIVITIES RELEASE<\/strong><\/p>\nStudents will be excused for school related activities.\u00a0 They must notify teachers prior to the event that will cause them to miss a class.\u00a0 Teachers, coaches, and\/or advisors must give a list of the students in the group that are to be released from class one day prior to the event.\u00a0 All events must be administratively approved.<\/p>\n
TARDIES<\/strong><\/p>\nTardiness is defined as being late to class. This causes interruption of the educational process and should be avoided. Those students checking in after the school day starts due to illness or going to or from an appointment should get an \u201cexcused pass\u201d from the attendance office. Students who do not have an acceptable excuse for being late should report directly to class. Excessive tardiness will be handled by administration on a case by case basis.\u00a0 Any student who leaves their materials in the room prior to class starting and returns after class has started will be considered tardy unless permission was given in advance by the teacher.<\/p>\n
UNEXCUSED ABSENCE\/TRUANCY<\/strong><\/p>\nStudents who are absent from school without an acceptable excuse shall be considered unexcused.\u00a0 This includes excessive tardiness, excessive excused absences (10 or more), and skipping all or part of the day. All unexcused absences must be made up either in detention or with the teacher whose class was missed.\u00a0 Unexcused absences may result in Simple Truancy Citations, a Habitual Truancy Citation, and\/ or a referral to the La Crosse County Human Services.<\/p>\n
COMMONS<\/strong><\/p>\nJuniors and seniors will be assigned to a commons period rather than a study hall. While a commons period allows more freedom than a study hall, students must remain in the building in designated areas.\u00a0<\/strong>Both attendance issues and failing grades, as well as other conduct, may result in the student being reassigned to a more structured study hall.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn”] To excuse your student’s attendance please contact: Jennifer Knutson Attendance Administrative Assistant Logan High School (608)789-3207 jeknutso@lacrossesd.org [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=”2023-24 Student Handbook” shape=”square” color=”danger” size=”lg” align=”left” css_animation=”bounceInLeft” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lacrosseschools.org%2Flogan-high%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F4%2F2023%2F11%2F2023-24-Code-Book.pdf|target:_blank”][vc_btn title=”School District of La Crosse Attendance Matters” shape=”square” color=”danger” size=”lg” align=”center” css_animation=”bounceIn” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lacrosseschools.org%2Fattendance%2F|target:_blank”][vc_btn title=”School Attendance per WI DPI” shape=”square” color=”danger” size=”lg” align=”right” css_animation=”bounceInRight” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fdpi.wi.gov%2Fsspw%2Fsafe-schools%2Fschool-attendance|title:School%20Attendance%20Policies%20per%20Wisconsin%20Department%20of%20Instruction|target:_blank”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css_animation=”bounceInUp”]Logan High […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3683,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","footnotes":""},"pp_force_visibility":null,"pp_subpost_visibility":null,"pp_inherited_force_visibility":null,"pp_inherited_subpost_visibility":null,"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lacrosseschools.org\/logan-high\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12791"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lacrosseschools.org\/logan-high\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lacrosseschools.org\/logan-high\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lacrosseschools.org\/logan-high\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3683"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lacrosseschools.org\/logan-high\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12791"}],"version-history":[{"count":26,"href":"https:\/\/www.lacrosseschools.org\/logan-high\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12791\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13038,"href":"https:\/\/www.lacrosseschools.org\/logan-high\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12791\/revisions\/13038"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lacrosseschools.org\/logan-high\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12791"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
