Attendance and Discipline
Attendance and Discipline
Emerald City Schools believes that regular school
attendance is important to students and to the school system.
Regular attendance by students facilitates development of the
skills and knowledge necessary to function in a democratic society.
Therefore, the Board endeavors to secure, in compliance
with state law, the prompt and regular attendance of students
and to secure their proper conduct and to hold the parents,
guardians or other persons in charge or control of students
responsible and liable for such students' nonattendance and
improper conduct.
It is important that each person connected with the school
system understand the importance of maintaining a consistent set of
behavior standards in order to establish a positive learning
environment. This can only be accomplished in schools where the
environment is free from distraction caused by disruptive behavior.
Creating such an environment requires the cooperation of the
parent(s) or guardian(s), students, Board of Education and all
employees of the school system.
The Attendance and Discipline Department is here to assist
schools, students and parent(s) or guardian(s) in understanding the
rules and policies of the school system regarding enrollment,
attendance, discipline and state laws. We also provide information
regarding school zones, transcript requests, census records and
work permits. Please contact us if we can be of assistance to
you
