Attendance

GENERAL INFORMATION

A student may not be given credit for a class unless the student is in attendance for at least 90% of the school days during the semester. Absences, whether excused or unexcused, are considered in determining the minimum attendance required for credit. If absences are exceeded, an attendance committee will determine whether credit will be given. Credit may be given due to extenuating circumstances such as long term or chronic illness. A. Absences

Page 2 of 12

When you are absent from school, you must bring a note from home. The note should be signed by your parent or guardian giving the following information: your full name, date, and ID number, reason for absence, parents signature, and telephone number. Failure to turn in a letter timely will result in an unexcused absence and the possibility of truancy being filed. If you forget your note, you must report to your assistant principals office to receive an unexcused absence notice to take to all classes. ABSENCE NOTES MUST BE RECEIVED WITHIN 2 DAYS OF THE ABSENCE, OR THE ABSENCE WILL BE CODED AS UNEXCUSED. No exceptions will be made. If you need to leave school early, bring a note with parent signature and date indicating the time you must leave school and the reason. If you are leaving during a class period, show the note to your teacher and then sign out at the attendance office (located in the back next to the clinic) and turn note in to the attendance clerk. DO NOT request permission to leave after 2:20pm due to arrival of buses and preparation for dismissal from school. Upon returning from an absence during the school day, sign in at the attendance office. Students who leave/ arrive during the day for medical/dental appointments MUST bring a note from the medical office in order for the absence to be considered a MEDICAL absence. A MEDICAL absence can only be approved if the student misses part of the school day and has a medical pass from the doctor. If you forget your note to leave campus, you must make arrangements with your assistant principal. Students leaving school for any reason without a note must check out at the attendance office. Failure to do so will result in disciplinary action. Students arriving 20 minutes late without a pass will receive an unexcused absence and will be sent to the attendance office. Students 18 years and older must have parent/guardians signature in order to receive an excused absence. (Notes signed by students even with parent permission will not be accepted). Students are allowed a maximum of ten extracurricular/co-curricular days. This does not include post district competition activities. For Verification of Enrollment purposes: The 90% attendance rule applies when determining VOE eligibility. Thus, if the school awarded a student credit for each class the semester prior to application for the VOE form, and the school considers the student currently enrolled at the time the student applied for the VOE form, and then the student should be considered eligible for the VOE form pursuant to the 90% rule. All absences that exceed the 90% attendance rule, for all classes in which the student was enrolled, must be made up according to the timeline set by their assistant principal in order for the student to receive a VOE.

B. Religious Holy Days Students shall be excused from attending school for the purpose of observing religious holy days when it is a tenet of their faith that they must be absent from school during such time and if, after the absence, the parent, guardian, or person having custody or control of the student submits written notification for the excused absence. Students whose absence(s) is (are) excused for the purpose of observing religious holy days shall not be penalized for such absence(s) and shall be counted as if he/she attended school for the purpose of calculating the average daily attendance. C. Travel Students who are absent due to vacation or home country visits are not to be withdrawn from the district unless the parent specifically requests the withdrawal. Absences for these reasons shall be coded unexcused unless there are extenuating circumstances (i.e. death or a family member).

D. Truancy Missing school part of the day or all day without parental knowledge is considered truancy. Truant students will have an unexcused absence from school and will be subject to disciplinary action. Unexcused absences will result in truancy charges being filed against both parent and student. Truant students will be referred to the local judicial authorities. E. Tardiness Students are required to be in class and prepared to begin work when the tardy bell rings. If a student is more than 20 minutes late to class, it is considered an unexcused absence. Policy for counting a student tardy: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. F. A student is counted tardy only if they walk in the door after the tardy bell rings. A student cannot be marked tardy for not being in their seat. Students who are tardy must report to the Zone Pass table located in the Commons to receive a Zone Pass. Tardy students will be allowed to enter the classroom with a Zone Pass. Every student is allowed two emergency tardies per class per semester. Upon receiving the third tardy, a referral will be sent to the students assistant principals office Off Campus College Visit Policy A student shall be excused for up to two days during the students junior year and up to two days during the students senior year to visit an accredited institution of higher education. A student shall be required to submit verification of such visits by providing a letter from the university/college verifying the date and purpose of the visit in order to be counted present for attendance accounting purposes. If a university/college verification letter is not submitted within two school days after the visit, the absence will be considered unexcused. Students whose absences are excused for the purpose of a university/college visit shall not be penalized for such absences and shall be counted as if he attended school for the purpose of calculating the average daily attendance. Campus Security The Campus Police Officer is responsible for the safety and security of the students as well as the building and grounds. If students have any questions concerning security in the building or parking lot, they should see the Campus Police Officer located in the rear administrative office.

Academic Honor Code CLEMENTS HIGH SCHOOL ACADEMIC HONOR CODE Academic Honesty Academic honesty is a fundamental principle at Clements High School. It means that you assume responsibility for your own work at all times. It is difficult to juggle school work with extracurricular activities and jobs, and the pressure to be successful will produce stress from time to time. However, academic honesty is about facing these pressures without compromising your integrity. The work you submit should be the result of your own thought, time, and effort. In addition, Fort Bend ISDs Student/Parent handbook states the following in reference to academic honesty, It is important for each student to act in an ethically responsible manner and hold each classmate to the same high standards as well. In so doing, pride in ones work and respect for others work will bring honor to each student and campus as well as the district as a whole. Violations of Academic Honesty There are many forms of academic dishonesty. In the broadest sense, it is any act that enhances a students grade unethically and unfairly. This may be done by submitting someone elses work as your own, in whole or in part; by failing to acknowledge assistance received; or by using unauthorized assistance in exams including notes or unauthorized advance knowledge of the test. (Definition adapted with permission from Roosevelt Universitys Academic Integrity Guide for Students.) Violations of academic honesty include but are not limited to: 1. Submitting another persons work as your own work. 2. Giving, posting, or accepting a copy of (or information regarding) any assessments, quizzes, lab work, tests, or scoring devices. 3. Copying from another students test or quiz or allowing another student to copy during a test or quiz. 4. Using materials or electronic devices which are not permitted during a test. 5. Plagiarism (See student handbook for definition.) 6. Permitting anyone (including but not limited to another student, parent, or tutor) to do your homework, project, report, paper, or take-home test. 7. Falsely claiming illness to avoid the date on which a test, quiz, paper, project, report, or presentation is due. Falsely claiming an emergency of illness to miss a class. 8. Copying computer software, data, or graphics created by others without permission and acknowledgement. 9. Lying or purposefully misrepresenting the truth; the telling of an untruth or falsehood as well as any form of deceit, attempted deception, or fraud in an oral or written statement. For example, fabricating facts or results on a lab or written assignment, or feigning illness to gain extra preparation time for an assessment. 10. Stealing encompasses but is not limited to the following: Taking another persons property without permission Stealing copies of tests or quizzes; stealing the teachers edition of the textbook; stealing another students homework, notes, or handouts 11. Misusing the district computer systems that are used for student, staff, or administrative purposes. 12. Modifying or misusing any calculator device to vary from classroom guidelines to obtain an unfair advantage. Collaboration on studying or homework is not considered academic dishonesty unless it is prohibited or limited by the teacher. If you are uncertain about an issue of academic honesty, you should talk to your teacher to resolve your questions.

Grading Procedures A. Report Cards Report cards are issued on a nine-week basis. Any grade below a 70 is considered failing. B. Semester Exams All semester exams will be taken on the date and time scheduled. A parent should not make dental or doctor appointments or plan for a student to leave town during the semester exam days. If a student is ill on the day of the exam, the student/parent should contact the teacher to arrange for a makeup exam. Exams may not be given in advance for any reason.

Note: Specific questions concerning class rank or transcripts can be answered in the Registrars office any morning between 7:00 and 7:30 or before your first class. Make-up Work It is the students responsibility to check with each teacher upon his/her return to school for any missing assignments. See District Policy FBISD Website and student handbook Seniors see Commencement Policy - FBISD Website and student handbook

Students will make arrangements for make-up work on the day they return to school. Upon returning to school,
students are allowed one make-up day for each day absence, i.e. if a student is absent 2 days he/she has two days to make-up work. If a student is absent on a known test day or major project due date (and that day only) known in advance, they are expected to take that test or turn in the project the day they return to class. If the student is absent only the day before the test and no new material has been covered, they will be expected to take the test at the regularly scheduled time. If absent two or more days, arrangements should be made with teachers immediately to take the make-up test. If a student does not show up for a pre-arranged make-up work, the student will receive a zero unless he has an excused absence for that day.

 If a student is absent, due to illness, for more than three days, assignment requests may be made at their assistant

principals office. If a student is absent the day of a test, quiz or major assignment the student is responsible for taking the quiz or test or turning in the assignment upon returning. It is the responsibility of the student to secure information concerning make-up work. Students who fail to do this or to meet deadlines for make-up work will receive a grade of "0". Digital Citizenship (Acceptable use of computers and telecommunication devices.) Unauthorized use of school computers will result in disciplinary action, which may include possible expulsion and criminal prosecution under penal code section 33.03. Unauthorized use shall include, but not be limited to: attempting or actually log-in as a teacher, another student, office worker, or administrator; introducing computer viruses; accessing FBISD student information system or other district programs, attempting to change or changing student grades or information; physically abusing or destroying the computer; using inappropriate language; sending inappropriate print jobs; or loading unauthorized programs/software and/or win pop-ups, or emails and sending them to school employees or to other students. Only students who have been authorized by the District and who are under direct supervision of designated District employees are permitted to use a District computer, personal telecommunication device, and to access any local network or outside communications resources, such as the Internet. Prior to such authorization, the student and the students parent must sign and return the District Student Agreement for Acceptable Use of Computers and Electronic Communications Systems, acknowledging their responsibilities and the consequences of violating the agreement. All students will be held accountable for the acceptable use agreement. Internet Use Fort Bend ISD regards the use of the Internet as a privilege and it may be revoked if used inappropriately. All Internet activity is logged and may be reviewed at any time to determine if this resource is being used appropriately. The Internet is to be used for FBISD business and educational purposes only. The ability to access an Internet site does not make it an appropriate site to visit. There is no expectation of privacy while a student is using the FBISD network. Internet usage is highly monitored and reveals the site, date and time of each site visited by each user. All graphics, and audio files viewed by the user are logged daily, and may be used as evidence in evaluating internet use. Use of Personal Telecommunication Devices The District believes technology is a powerful tool that enhances learning and enables students to access a vast amount of academic resources. The Districts goal is to increase student access to digital tools and facilitate immediate access to technology-based information. On an as available basis, students will be provided access to a filtered, wireless network through which students in grades two through twelve will be able to connect personal telecommunication devices to a designated network. Students using personal telecommunication devices must follow the guidelines stated in district Student/Parent Handbook while on school property, attending any school-sponsored activity, or using the Fort Bend ISD networks. Designated Instructional Areas Students in grades two through twelve are allowed to bring personal telecommunication devices that can access the guest filtered wireless Internet, as available. Students will be allowed to use the device for educational purposes in a digitally responsible manner. Designated non-Instructional Areas/Times Students in grades two through twelve are allowed to bring personal telecommunication devices that can access the guest filtered wireless internet, as available.
