Attendance Policy

Regular attendance helps your child stay on track academically. Please notify the school promptly when your child is absent and provide written documentation by the next school day or when your child returns.

Under district policy, five unexcused absences (or absences with unknown reasons) in a calendar month, or ten within 90 calendar days, trigger a review for a pattern of nonattendance. Habitual truancy is defined as 15 unexcused absences within 90 calendar days.

The principal determines whether an absence is excused. Please review the district policy for documentation requirements, attendance procedures, and makeup work.

For questions or to submit attendance documentation, email FBS-Attendance@leonschools.net.

The guidelines for perfect attendance eligibility are listed below:

1. An excused absence is an absence.
2. An administrative suspension is considered an absence.
3. If the student has 3 or more assigned ISI, they will not be able to attend the perfect attendance celebration for the nine weeks. However, the student will still be eligible for the perfect attendance trophy/celebration at the end of the school year if they have not missed a day of school.
4. Any student who has perfect attendance since the date of enrollment is eligible for participation in the attendance celebration.
5. Students with the following criteria will participate in the end of the year attendance celebration:

• 0 days absent - Platinum attendance status
• 1 day absent - Gold attendance status
• Up to 3 days absent - Silver attendance status
