• Rolesville High School Attendance & Tardy Policies

     

    ATTENDANCE POLICY

    Coming to school every day, ready to learn, is important for your child's success -- and it's required by state law for children between the ages of 7 and 16. 

    Excused absences include:

    • illness or injury
    • a death in the family
    • health care appointments
    • court appearances 
    • religious observance
    • natural disasters
    • outside educational opportunities* (you'll need to complete this form in advance)

    You'll need to provide an Absence Note within two days of your child's return to school or the absences will be recorded as unexcused. 

     

    TARDY POLICY

    Classroom instruction is key to student success. As such, students are expected to be in their assigned classes at the start of each period. Students who fail to be in their assigned classroom at the sound of the bell must get a pass from AllTimely.  Students who appear for class more than 15 minutes late without a pass are to receive a discipline referral for skipping.  Below are the consequences that will be assigned to students who are late (tardies are cumulative, not per class):

    • After 5 tardies – Call home

    • After 10 tardies –  1 day of in-school suspension 

    • After 15 tardies –  2 days of in-school suspension

    • After 20 tardies – Out-of-school suspension or other consequences as determined by administration

     

    *Students who are more than 15 minutes late to a class will be written up for skipping, which will result in additional consequences.

    **Tardies may also result in revocation of off-campus lunch passes and/or parking passes.

    ***Students who are assigned to ISS for a partial or full day will not be allowed to participate in any school-sponsored events (e.g., sports practices, games, productions, etc.).

    ****Failure to serve an assigned consequence will result in additional consequences being assigned by an administrator.
