Attendance Policy

At Oakwood, student attendance is mandatory and is governed by the school’s attendance policy. If a student exceeds five days out of a class, that student is removed from the class roster on the 6^th absence. Re-entry into the class is possible; however, documentation must be provided by the student with a request for reinstatement.

All students enrolling in Oakwood are expected to agree to and abide by the following attendance policies:

	A student who is absent with a valid excuse (Cobb County Policy JBD) is to provide a written note to the Attendance Office within two days of the absence. It is the student's responsibility to leave the written excuse in the designated area in the Attendance Office.
	A student is expected to give his teachers prior notice of court and doctor appointments. The student is also expected to bring in official documentation confirming these appointments.
	A hardship appeal will be considered only if all work prior to the sixth absence is completed, notes are on file for all absences, and no disciplinary actions have been recorded in the current session.
	An attempt will be made to notify parents after a student is absent a third time. Parents are encouraged to call Oakwood periodically to check on their student's progress.
	Discipline absences may be mandated in the following instances after a teacher has issued an initial warning:

1. Sleeping in class

2. Coming to class unprepared

3. Leaving class without permission

4. Being in an unauthorized area

5. Behaving in a manner that is

disrespectful towards others

6. Leaving campus during break

7. Violation of other school rules

8. Out of school suspension

9. Displaying or using a communication device

A student may be withdrawn from a class under the following conditions:

During the first two days of each session, a student may change his schedule by following the official drop/add procedures.
During the third through thirty-fifth day, a student may drop a class by notifying the guidance office in person. If a student drops a class for any reason without notifying the guidance office in person, he/she will receive a grade of 10 on the report card and transcript.
Withdrawal as determined necessary by the school's administration.
