\n

According to the Parent\/Student Handbook that was signed at the beginning of the year, if a student accrues 10 or more absences (excused or unexcused)<\/strong> in a semester in any class, they are considered to have excessive absences. With quarter 3 quickly wrapping up, students who have reached that threshold or are close to reaching that threshold, will be receiving an email as an alert to monitor their attendance for the remainder of the school year.<\/p>\n

I encourage you to check Renweb if you are in need of exact and up-to-date attendance information for your student(s). If you believe there is an error in your student’s attendance record, please reach out to Mrs. Allen in Student Services (callen@goecs.org<\/a>).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12193","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sentinel-weekly"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/goecs.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12193"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/goecs.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/goecs.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goecs.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goecs.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12193"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/goecs.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12193\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12218,"href":"https:\/\/goecs.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12193\/revisions\/12218"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/goecs.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12193"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goecs.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12193"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goecs.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12193"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
