Skipping and Campus Safety

RAGSDALE SKIPPING CLASS and CAMPUS SAFETY

All students are expected to be in their assigned classes each day. Data has shown that when students that are in class, they make better grades.  Ragsdale understands that there are times in which a student has to be absent and has established procedures to recognize excused absences. In cases where the student does not have a reason to be absent from class, it is considered an unexcused absence. Another name for an unexcused absence is "skipping," which can be defined by these actions:

●     Leaving class without permission.

●     Attending another teacher’s classroom for any reason.

●     Not attending an assigned class or activity during the day.

●     Being absent without a parent or guardian's prior knowledge.

●     Leaving class without permission or under false pretenses.

●     Not reporting to class within the first 5 minutes.

●     Leaving campus without being checked out- not to visit a store, a restaurant, a house or their vehicle if off campus.

 

Safety

●     Food may not be delivered.

●     Drivers who leave campus without permission will lose their parking pass.

●     Students may not go to their car during the day without administrative approval.

●     All students arriving to campus MUST enter/re-enter through the scanner.

○     Only the main entry must be used to enter the building.

●     All students leaving campus before end of day must check out through the attendance office and leave through the main doors.

Students who are found to be skipping and out of area or off campus are subject to having their items searched.

Students will be marked absent if they miss more than 45-minutes of the class without proper documentation.
