Attendance Leave & Absence
Attendance Requirement: Students must maintain a minimum of 75% attendance in each term to be eligible to
sit for examinations and participate in school activities.
Punctuality: Students are expected to be punctual and present for all scheduled classes, assemblies, and school
events.
Reporting Absences: Parents or guardians must inform the school of a student’s absence by 9:00 AM on the day of
absence, providing a valid reason.
Leave Application: For planned absences, such as medical appointments or family events, a leave application
must be submitted in advance. The application should be signed by a parent or guardian and approved
by the class teacher or principal.
Medical Leave: In case of illness, a medical certificate must be submitted along with the leave application
if the student is absent for more than three consecutive days.
Extended Leave: For any leave extending beyond one week, prior approval from the principal is required. This
includes vacations and other long-term absences.
Late Arrival: Students arriving late to school must report to the school office to obtain a late slip before
proceeding to class. Repeated late arrivals will be addressed according to the school's disciplinary
policy.
Early Dismissal: If a student needs to leave school early, a written request from the parent or guardian is
required. The student must be picked up by an authorized person.
Unexplained Absences: Unexplained or unauthorized absences will be investigated, and parents will be
notified. Continued absenteeism without a valid reason may result in disciplinary action.
Attendance Records: Attendance records are maintained for each student and are regularly reviewed by the
school administration. These records are also shared with parents during parent-teacher meetings.
Reintegration: Students returning to school after an absence must ensure they catch up on missed work and
assignments. Teachers will provide necessary support to help reintegrate the student into the class.
