Attendance

Importance of Attendance at Eagle Academy

Student attendance is crucial at Eagle Academy for the following reasons:

  • Every absence impacts the Student Success Score.
  • Students who fail to meet the Student Success Score in one or more classes will be placed on Academic Leave for the upcoming quarter.

Attendance Recording Procedures

Tardy: A student is marked tardy if they arrive within the first 20 minutes of class.

Absent: A student is marked absent if they are:

  • Late by more than 20 minutes
  • Leave during class

Notification Requirements

Parents or guardians must call the attendance line at 303-387-0870, ext. 1 within 24 hours to report their student's absence.

If a parent or guardian does not notify the school via phone call or email, an automated email will be sent at 8:50 PM that evening to inform them of the absence.

Excused Absences

Students who are sick and provide a doctor's note will be excused and marked as "EXC."

  • Only absences marked as "EXC" will not count towards the Student Success Score.
  • Both excused and unexcused absences between 7-10 will result in half credit.

Conclusion

Maintaining regular attendance is essential for student success at Eagle Academy. Thank you for your cooperation!

EAGLE ACADEMY'S POLICY ON EXCUSED ABSENCES

 

At Eagle Academy, we want to ensure your attendance records are as accurate as possible. To keep Infinite Campus (IC) up to date and ensure students aren't penalized for necessary medical or legal appointments, please follow these guidelines when submitting documentation.

 

The "One-Week" Rule

All doctor’s notes or court-issued documents must be submitted within one week of the student's absence(s). Submitting notes promptly ensures that "unexcused" marks don't linger on attendance records longer than necessary.

 

Dates of Absence(s) Required

For a note to be valid for our records, it must include the specific dates the student is excused.

Please Note: We are unable to accept "open-ended" notes. Documentation containing phrases like "return when they feel better" or "excused until further notice" cannot be processed. The note must provide a clear start and end date for the absence.

 

How to Submit Your Notes

Notes to excuse absence(s) can be provided to us in one of two ways:

  • In-Person: Drop the note off directly to Tracy in the Eagle Academy office.

  • Via Email: Send a digital copy or clear photo of the note to tdixon@dcsdk12.org.

Once received, student information will be updated in Infinite Campus to reflect the excused status.

 

Thank you for helping us keep our records accurate and our students on track!
