Frequently Asked Questions About Attendance
How many days do students have to turn in an excuse
following an absence
Students have 3 days after
returning to class - Both CCCTC and your high school require
an excuse.
What happens if students have unexcused absences?
An unexcused absence is considered "truant" which
means a student cannot make up work for that day. A "0" will
be given for the day.
Detention - If students have 3 unexcused absences
they will receive a detention. For every unexcused absence
after 3, another detention will be assigned.
How many days may a student be absent before a
Medical Excuse is needed?
A Medical Excuse is required after 15 days of
accumulated absences.
What if a student is late to school or needs to leave
early?
Students must have permission from a parent,
guardian or home school official if they arrive late to school or
seek permission to leave early. Without a note, students will
be marked tardy, or will not be permitted an early dismissal.
Students must sign in or out of school through the Attendance
Office at either the High School or CCCTC. If a
student does not sign out before leaving, they will be considered
"truant".
What is expected when students have a Sending School
Event (field trip, pep rally, etc.)?
Students will need to fill out a "Permission to
Attend Sending School Event" form, which can be found in the
Attendance Office or through their instructor, 2 days before the
event. They may also bring a signed school permission slip in
to the Attendance Office to be copied.
If the sending high school has an Act 80 Day
(In-service) - do students still need to attend CCCTC?
Yes, CCCTC is
still in session and students are required to attend. If they
do not attend CCCTC, they are required to have a valid excuse for
their absence.
