Course Attendance / Loss of Credit Appeals Committee Guidelines The attendance policy of Enfield High School, available online, sets limits on the number of absences( 5 in a semester class and 9 in a full-year class) that students may accumulate in each class before loss of credit. As stated by the EHS attendance policy, parents / guardians may appeal their student’ s credit loss if extenuating circumstances exist by submitting the Attendance Loss Appeal Form within 10 days of receiving notice of a student’ s loss of credit. These circumstances include factors beyond the student’ s control( e. g, family emergency, serious illness, death in the family, etc.) and must be documented.
The Attendance Appeals Committee will periodically review Attendance Loss Appeal Forms that have been submitted:
● Attendance appeals will be examined for, clear explanation of events causing poor attendance along with supporting documentation of the absences, evidence that the student has made an effort to improve his / her attendance in the class, and demonstration of continued progress in meeting essential standards in the course curriculum through assignments and other assessments.
● If the student’ s appeal is granted, the student will be eligible to earn a numerical grade for which credit may be awarded if the final numerical grade is 60 or above and if the student follows the stipulations outlined by the Attendance Appeals Committee.
● If the student’ s appeal is denied, the student will be assigned“ No Credit” regardless of the student’ s given numerical grade average in the class.
● A parent / guardian may attend the Attendance Appeals Committee meeting.
● All Attendance Appeals Committee decisions are final.
