Attendance is taken in and counted for each class, meaning students can have a different number of absences in each class. Students must be present for 2/3rds (1 hour on a normal schedule) of a class period to be counted present. If you sign your child out of school for part of a class period or day, that might count as an absence.

Students are allowed seven (7) absences coded 2A - Unexcused absence in each class period. Any 2A - Unexcused absences after seven (7) will have to be made up through attendance makeup. Students can also speak to teachers about using after-school tutoring for attendance makeup.

Absence notes can be emailed to caehs.attendance@bcsemail.org. If a parent/guardian does not have an email address to use, we suggest using your student's school-provided email account.

Students should sign up for attendance makeup in the reception office no later than the day before they plan to attend. Cost is $3 for 1 hour and $5 for 2 hours.

You can read more detailed information about attendance in the Student/Parent Handbook.
