Attendance Policy
 
  1.   Attendance Policy
 
    This is the attendance policy at Arrowhead School.
 
    • Any student that leaves before 2 pm will receive a
      half day absence.
    • After 2 pm, the student will receive an “R” and the
      release time will be noted in the computer.
    • If a student comes in with a Dr./Dentist slip, an “S”
      will be entered in the computer and the tardy will
      not show up on the report card. If you do not have
      a slip signed by the Dr./Dentist office, you will
      receive a tardy.
    • If a student shows up after missing 2/12 hours of
      school, he/she will receive a 1/2 day absence (AM
      or PM absence) - whichever applies.
 
The names of students that are consistently absent or tardy are given to the principal for his review.
 
  1.   Tardiness
 
    If your child arrives at 9:05 am or later, you need  to sign them in at the office. Once you sign them in, they may take an orange late slip (located on the counter next to the Late Sign-In Book) and proceed to their classroom. They may not come in to the building through any other doors at that time and they should be signed in by an adult.
  1.   Reporting an Absence
 
    You need to call and report absences each day your child is out especially if we have not been notified in writing ahead of time.  In order to provide the safest possible environment for your children, the Copley-Fairlawn City Schools has adopted the following policy regarding absences:
 
    If your child is going to be absent, or late to school, the school must be notified by 9:00 a.m. You may send in a note with a brother, sister, or neighbor to the school office. If this is not possible, please call the school office at 330-664-4885, with the student’s name, teacher, and reason for the absence.
 
    You may also request that homework be sent home with a sibling or a friend or be sent to the office at that time.  All homework will be made available for pick-up after 2:30 pm in the office.
 
    A voice mailbox (330-664-4885) is available 24 hours a day.  When a message is left on the office phone, a red light stays lit until it is retrieved.
