ATTENDA NCE POLICY
Palmer Trinity School is dedicated to academic excellence. In order to promote a scholastic environment,
students are expected to attend all classes regularly and punctually. Chronic tardies or absences on the
part of any student are detrimental to the academic environment of the School and the intellectual
development of the student.
School attendance is the responsibility of parents/guardians and students. e School requests that
parents/guardians and students thoughtfully consider the impact of any absence other than one of a
medical or family emergency. Families are discouraged from taking students out of school prior to a school
break. Routine student appointments, such as doctor, dentist, etc., should be scheduled after school hours
or during school holidays.
Parents/guardians are responsible for providing documentation regarding student absences to the school
office. Students returning to school following any absence, tardy, or early dismissal are required to report
to the appropriate office to provide written documentation from a parent, guardian, doctor, etc as to why
he/she was absent from school or class. In order for students' absences to be excused, students must present
a note. Without a note upon return, the days are unexcused.
